Real Madrid have had huge injury problems in defense so far this season, and one player who has been affected is Joan Martinez. The 17-year-old impressed during pre-season and was therefore promoted to the first team by Carlo Ancelotti, although he tore his anterior cruciate ligament only weeks later.
It is expected that Martinez will miss the remainder of the season, although his recovery period is going well. According to Marca, he has used the time to do a lot of strength work, and his physical transformation has amazed those at Real Madrid, who called him a 'beast'.
It is expected that Martinez will remain in Real Madrid's first team next season once he returns from injury, although that could change depending on potential signings. However, the club has a lot of high expectations for the teenager, so he has a good chance of staying involved in the future.
