Juventus forward ready to return

The 27-year-old has been out with a knee injury that he suffered against Bari earlier this season.

“I’m feeling very well and I’ve fully recovered from my injury. I’ve been working hard to return to full match fitness for the past four weeks,” Martinez was quoted as saying by Corriere dello Sport.

“I was already available again for last weekend’s match against Cagliari. I still lack a bit of match rhythm though.

“I hope to return to match action as soon as possible. Like every player, I want to get regular first team action. However, it’s up to the coach to decide when he wants to field me again. For now, the most important thing is that I’m match fit again.”
