Barca's Inigo Martinez back in training after recent knee injury

Inigo Martinez was forced to withdraw from the Spain squad due to a "lateral meniscus inflammation in his right knee", suffered in the 2-4 win over Atletico Madrid ahead of the March international break.

Having undergone recovery with the Barcelona staff for the past week, the 33-year-old centre-back was able to return to fitness and partake in Monday's training session with the Catalans.

Reports in Spain inform that Martinez should be ready to feature in the upcoming league fixture against Osasuna, which was rescheduled for March 27 after the sudden passing of Dr Carlos Minerro earlier this month.

The two sides' appeals for the date to be changed due to the ongoing internationals were rejected by La Liga, meaning Barca will be without their South American players for Thursday night's fixture at the Montjuic.
