Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will return to action in a few weeks after sustaining an injury during the club’s recent 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.
Martinez was forced to leave the match early after a knock that has been described by the club’s medical staff as a minor but significant setback. He will undergo a short period of rehabilitation before being cleared to play again.
“I’ll be back in a few weeks,” Martinez told reporters after the game, expressing confidence that the injury will not keep him out for an extended period.
The goalkeeper’s absence will leave a gap in Chelsea’s defensive line as the team prepares for its next Premier League fixtures. Manager Mauricio Pochettino will need to decide whether to rely on the backup keeper or adjust tactics in the interim.
Martinez has been a key figure for Chelsea since joining the club in 2021, and his return is expected to strengthen the squad’s prospects for the remainder of the season.
