Makes 10 clearances in loss Martinez made two interceptions, 10 clearances and won one of three tackles in last weekend's 1-0 defeat against Sevilla.
Impact Martinez defended well last weekend, and the 31-year-old ends a the campaign with three goals and 13 clean sheets in 27 La Liga appearances (26 starts) despite missing about a month in the spring with a hamstring injury. He's still Athletic's first-choice center back when he's fit.

Keeps clean sheet at home Martinez kept a clean sheet with three interceptions made and put two shots off target during Saturday's 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid.
Impact Martinez kept a dangerous team under wraps and came away with a largely clean result as the visitors were mostly reduced to low-percentage chances. With four interceptions over the last two matches, Martinez will next face Valencia.
MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Thursday Martinez (hamstring) will be in the starting XI versus Cadiz on Thursday.
Impact Martinez rejoins the starting XI after five matches on the shelf due to his hamstring problem. In 22 appearances this year, the central defender has generated three goals on 23 shots (nine on target) and should remain a top target in the box moving forward.
APRIL 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
In squad list Martinez (hamstring) made the squad list ahead of Thursday's trip to Cadiz.
Impact Martinez has been out since Mar. 7 but now has a chance to return after almost two months out of the lineup. While Martinez has been out, his team have won just one-in-five matches and should be a welcome addition to the side.
APRIL 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Not ready to return yet Martinez (hamstring) was not called up by Athletic for Saturday's clash against Villarreal.
Impact Martinez returned to training with Bilbao this week after missing three games with a hamstring injury, but he's still not fit enough to be available for selection. Yeray Alvarez and Dani Vivian will likely continue as the central defense pairing until he's ready to return.
APRIL 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Returns to training Martinez (hamstring) was back in full training with Bilbao on Tuesday.
Impact Martinez has missed Athletic's last three games with a hamstring injury he suffered against Levante in early March, but he's back with the team and may be fit enough to return against Villarreal on Saturday.
APRIL 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Doubtful for Elche game Martinez (hamstring) is still not training with Athletic and is a doubt to be fit enough to play against Elche on Sunday, according to El Correo.
Impact Martinez has missed Bilbao's last two games with a hamstring injury, and he's not expected to be available at the weekend either. With Yeray Alvarez suspended, Unai Nunez is likely to line up alongside Dani Vivian in central defense for the match.
MARCH 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Misses loss to Betis Martinez (hamstring) missed Sunday's 1-0 loss to Levante.
Impact Martinez had an increasing chance to play after his prognosis improved in the week before this match, but ended up not playing. With just Friday's match against Getafe left before the international break, Martinez has plenty of time to recover as the season nears its final weeks.
MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Comes off injured against Levante Martinez was subbed out in the 55th minute of Monday's victory against Levante after suffering an injury. He took three shots (one on target), created a chance and made four interc...
Impact Martinez was having an excellent game Monday before he went down injured, so he will hope it isn't a serious concern. Dani Vivian replaced him in the game, and he could fill in for him in central defense if necessary next weekend against Betis.
MARCH 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Finds net in win Martinez scored one goal and conceded a yellow card during Monday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.
Impact Martinez has played exceptionally well during Copa del Rey wins over Barcelona and Real Madrid before getting onto the scoresheet himself thanks to a cross from Dani Vivian. With two clean sheets in his last four league starts and four games without defeat, Martinez just needs to be careful not to pick up a fifth yellow card in Thursday's match against Valencia in the cup or in the following league match at Mallorca.
FEBRUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Gets start Monday Martinez (illness) will be in the starting XI versus Osasuna on Monday.
Impact Martinez is back in the squad following a two-match stint on the sidelines after testing positive for COVID-19. When fit, the defender has started all 15 of his appearances this year in which he recorded two goals on 17 shots (seven on target), 71 clearances and 16 interceptions.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tests positive for COVID-19 Martinez has tested positive for COVID-19, Athletic Bilbao announced Friday.
Impact Martinez will have to miss at least a week while in isolation, meaning his 2021 is over and he will return in January. Unai Nunez or Dani Vivian (groin) if he's fit will likely fill in for him in central defense against Betis and Real Madrid.
DECEMBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Completes suspension Martinez completed his suspension during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Impact Martinez should be clear for Monday's encounter with Getafe after missing the midweek loss against another club from the Madrid area. Injuries and suspensions have taken Martinez out of three of the last six games, so he'll hope for a better run of form to close out 2021.
DECEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sent off against Granada Martinez received a straight red card -- after a VAR review -- following a foul on Luis Suarez in the 97th minute of Friday's draw against Granada. He made three clearances and too...
Impact Martinez will be suspended for next week's clash against Real Madrid, and possibly for longer if La Liga deems it. Unai Nunez could replace him in central defense, with Dani Vivian (groin) still out.
NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Sent off against Sociedad Martinez received a red card in the 84th minute of Sunday's clash against Real Sociedad, following a foul on Alexander Isak for his second booking of the match. He took a shot on t...
Impact Martinez returned to Bilbao's lineup on Saturday after missing last week's draw against Espanyol with a stomach issue, but he will be suspended for Friday's clash against Cadiz now following his sending off in the Basque derby. Dani Vivian (strain) is likely to replace him in central defense if he's fit enough, or possibly Unai Nunez if Vivian can't go.
OCTOBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Late-scratch Tuesday Martinez will not be in the starting XI against Espanyol on Tuesday due to stomach pains while Dani Vivian will start in Martinez's place.
Impact Martinez was listed on the club's initial starting XI but was a late scratch after developing stomach pains pregame. The defender had logged the full 90 minutes in all nine of the club's matches this year and will miss out for the first time this season.
OCTOBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Headers home second of season Martinez scored once, took two shots (one on target), created one chance, made two tackles (one own) and intercepted once in the 1-1 draw with Valencia on Saturday.
Impact Martinez was a brick wall in the draw Saturday. The defender was the sweeper for Athletic and he tied his season-high 10 clearances. He also joined the attack a few times and he eventually scored his second goal of the season off a nice corner. Martinez is one of the best stay-at-home defenders in all of La Liga and if you play on a platform where clearances are counted, this is your man.
SEPTEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Makes 10 clearances in win Martinez had one off-target shot, sent in one accurate cross and made two tackles (both won), 10 clearances, two interceptions and one block while helping his side to keep a clean...
Impact Martinez was amazing at the heart of the defense, leading all players with a whopping 10 clearances and keeping opposing forwards at bay during the entire match. The centre back racked up 17 clearances and two clean sheets over three matches so far and will try to remain productive during Sep. 13 home match against Mallorca.
AUGUST 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Scores in draw Martinez scored one goal from two shots (one on goal) and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.
Impact Martinez lost his marker on a corner and smashed home the header to take the lead, though it was eventually lost in the final score. Through two games, Martinez and Dani Vivian have created a solid partnership even without Unai Simon, and this will be worth monitoring in the early weeks of the season. Up next is a trip to Celta Vigo.
