Barcelona have offered an injury update on [Gerard Martin after the left-back dropped out of duty with Spain's Under-21s](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2025/6/12/24447908/barcelonas-gerard-martin-set-for-immediate-surgery-after-fracturing-hand-with-spain-under-21s) this week.
Martin was injured in Spain's opening game of the European Championship against Slovakia and subsequently withdrew from the squad and headed home.
Barcelona have now confirmed the severity of the injury and say he will go under the knife next week to fix the problem.
Here's the club's official statement:
> "Gerard Martín has suffered a dislocation at the base of the fifth metacarpal in his right hand and will undergo surgery this Tuesday, performed by Dr. Mir under the supervision of the Club’s Medical Services. An update will be provided after the procedure."
The injury has ended Martin's campaign but he'll be aiming to return in pre-season, with Barca due back to work in the second week of July.
Get well soon, Gerard Martin!
