Should be fit for Wednesday
Martinez (undisclosed) is expected to be an option for Wednesday's match against Barcelona, according to manager Quique Sanchez Flores, per Ander Barroso of Marca. "They just confirmed to me that it's nothing serious. It's a nuisance that's been dragging on for a few weeks. He is in a good moment of form, with a lot of confidence, and endures everything he can. We think it will be on Wednesday."
Analysis: Martinez looked to have suffered an injury Saturday but appears to only be dealing with a minor issue following testing, as the forward has been dragging some complaints recently. The good news is he should still return to action in their midweek match, not needing much time to recover. He has not missed a start since December, so his club will be relying on him to be an option at forward heading into the final games of the season.
Scores penalty before injury
Martinez (undisclosed) scored from the penalty spot before being forced off in the 67th minute of Saturday's clash against Elche with a muscular injury, according to Domingo Ortiz of Sphera Sports.
Analysis: Martinez is one of Alaves' most important attacking contributors this season, sharing the club's top scorer spot alongside Lucas Boye, making his potential absence a significant blow for the final fixtures of their survival battle. The club will assess the extent of the muscular issue over the coming days before setting any return timeline, with Ibrahim Diabate expected to take on a larger role in the front line if Martinez needs to sit out any upcoming fixtures.
