Barcelona breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that defender Inigo Martinez is fit for the Clasico match against Real Madrid, having left the match against Inter Milan injured in the 76th minute due to discomfort in his hamstring.

According to the medical report, Inigo's injury is a minor muscle strain, and he is expected to return to team training on Friday without issues, making him available for coach Hans Flick in the anticipated match at Montjuic Stadium on Sunday.

Inigo Martinez's participation is a significant boost for Flick, especially considering his importance in the back line alongside Pau Koubarsi, within the defensive lineup that is also expected to include Eric Garcia as right-back and Gerard Martin on the left flank.

In this context, Alejandro Balde is expected to receive medical clearance on Saturday, but he will not start as a starter, given Gerard Martin's outstanding performance.

On the other hand, indications suggest that Robert Lewandowski will return to the starting lineup after participating as a substitute in the match against Inter, as he aims to compete for the top scorer title against Kylian Mbappe, who is only one goal ahead of him.
