His absence led to rumours that the 29-year-old would require knee surgery.

However the 29-year-old Argentina international insisted there was no truth to those claims.

“I don’t need anything,” Martínez told a press conference ahead of Wednesday’s Finalissima clash with Italy at Wembley.

“I will be back for pre-season. There is a bit of pain, but I’ve had it since I was 17.”
