Marca: Real Madrid teenager Joan Martinez is about to return, and has been injured for 356 days

July 25th According to the Marca report, Castia will play against Marbella in the first pre-season friendly match, the most popular of which is 17-year-old central defender Joan Martinez, who will make a comeback in the game, his debut after a severe knee injury last year.

He has been out for 356 days since he was injured in a friendly against Barcelona on August 4, 2024. Five days later, during a training session at Valdebebas, he tore his cruciate ligament and began a long journey of recovery.

Now, after nearly a year of hard work, Joan can finally return to the field. He began training with the youth team in early May this year, but did not compete because the club hoped he would welcome the new season in his best form.

The long rest period made Joan particularly excited to wear the jersey again, and tomorrow's game against Marbella will be his comeback. Real Madrid has formulated a detailed recovery plan for him. Although he has attracted much attention from the first team, his future is still in Castia in the near term.

Under the cooperation between Alonso and Aveloa, Joan Martinez will gradually recover. The nearly 50 days of training and multiple friendly matches before the season will provide him with plenty of time to recover.

The first game is expected to play for 20-25 minutes, and then gradually increase the time until he can play the whole game. To prevent any possible recurrence or muscle damage, the team will provide him with strict protection.
