Real Madrid sensation called up to first-team training | OneFootball

An up-and-coming member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid has this week secured a return to the club’s senior setup.

The player in question? Joan Martínez.

Youngster Joan’s name will likely be well known to close followers of Real Madrid.

As much comes with the Spaniard, despite his tender years, widely considered to be the future of the capital heavyweights’ backline.

Joan recently returned from a long-term spell on the sidelines with an ACL injury.

Prior to as much, though, the stopper had at just 16 years of age broken into the first-team picture in Spain’s capital.

Confidence in turn remains that, upon finding full fitness once more, Joan will quickly begin pushing for a place in Xabi Alonso’s matchday plans.

And as alluded to above, on Tuesday, the teenager took another significant step towards as much.

As per a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano:

‘Joan Martínez has returned to first team training at Real Madrid after he signed new deal until June 2029.’
