Joan Martinez was touted as a potential breakout star for Real Madrid during the club’s pre-season campaign.
A centre-back by trade, Martinez has been compared to the legendary Sergio Ramos due to his performances in the youth leagues, coupled with his style of play.
Martinez even made an impression during Real Madrid’s pre-season campaign. But his hopes of making a breakthrough this season were shattered following an ACL injury that ruled him out on the sidelines for the season.
Marc Bernal shows support for Martinez
Now, with Martinez undergoing surgery today, the youngster has received welcome support from Barcelona counterpart Marc Bernal.
The Barcelona starlet was seen commenting on Martinez’s Instagram post about his surgery. The youngster commented, “One day less.”
