Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez faces another stint on the sidelines.

The summer arrival from Athletic Bilbao had only just returned to action after a six-match leg strain, but broke down again in the Copa win at Barbastros.

Inigo last just nine minutes as a second-half substitute before being forced off with a new muscular strain.

Barca have since announced this morning: "The tests carried out have shown that the first team player Iigo Martnez has a muscle injury in the femoral biceps of his left leg. It is low and evolution will determine his availability."

Inigo's previous injury had been in the right leg.
