Sergio Martinez could make one of the most unexpected Real Madrid debuts in recent years when Jose Mourinho's side face Inter Milan in their Champions League opener on Tuesday.
The midfielder only joined Madrid from Racing Santander days ago, but his rise has already taken him from the reserve setup to the senior squad.
According to MARCA, Martinez has trained with Mourinho's first-team group and is now in contention for the European fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Notably, his inclusion on Madrid's Champions League A-list has accelerated that progression even further.
Martinez's rise has been driven partly by circumstances within Mourinho's squad.
