Martínez injury rules him out for up to two months
Chelsea have suffered a major blow with the confirmation that Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez will be sidelined for 45 to 60 days due to an injury sustained during the match against Everton in the Premier League, according to sources.
Emiliano Martínez suffered a serious injury after a head collision with Everton's Jarrod Branthwaite during the match that ended with Chelsea winning 2-0, leaving the pitch on a stretcher amid concerns for his health.
Medical examinations revealed that the Argentine goalkeeper suffered a fracture in his jaw, requiring surgical intervention. He will undergo a period of rest and rehabilitation in preparation for his return to the pitch.
Emiliano Martínez's absence is a blow for the London team, which will miss his services in the upcoming period. The goalkeeper will also be absent from the Argentina national team during the next international break, forcing the coaching staff to look for suitable alternatives to compensate for his absence.
