Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will be back in a few weeks after undergoing surgery for a head injury he sustained during the Premier League match against Everton. The injury occurred in a collision with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, leading to Martinez being stretchered off the field. Martinez, who plays for Argentina, was taken to the hospital following the incident.
Martinez has confirmed he expects to return to play in a few weeks, though the exact timeline remains unspecified. The injury occurred during Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Everton, which also ended the Blues' 22-match clean-sheet streak in the league. The match saw several moments of controversy, including a missed red card against Morgan Rogers, which frustrated Everton manager David Moyes.
This injury marks the second time Martinez has suffered a head collision in recent months. His previous injury, also involving a head clash, required medical attention and time away from the field. The incident has raised questions about player safety in high-speed collisions during matches. While no long-term implications have been disclosed, the club has expressed confidence in Martinez's recovery.
