Chelsea's Martínez Undergoes Jaw Surgery, Expected Back in a Few Weeks

During Chelsea’s 2-1 Premier League victory over Everton on Saturday, goalkeeper Emi Martínez suffered a head injury that required immediate medical attention.

Following the match, Martínez underwent jaw surgery to address the damage caused by the impact. The procedure was performed at a specialist clinic in London.

Club officials have stated that Martínez should be back in training “in a few weeks,” giving him time to recover fully before rejoining the squad.

With Martínez sidelined, Chelsea will rely on their backup keepers for the remaining fixtures of the season. The coaching staff are monitoring his progress closely.

Once cleared, Martínez is expected to resume his role between the posts, helping the Blues maintain their defensive solidity as they push for a top-four finish.
