Expected to miss several weeks
Martinez is recovering well following surgery on his fractured jaw but is expected to remain sidelined for several weeks, according to coach Xabi Alonso. "Emi is doing better. He had the surgery and day by day he is feeling better, but we still need to wait. A few weeks. Hopefully, less than more, but we need to wait."
Analysis: Martinez faces an extended spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery to repair the fractured jaw he sustained during Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton. The goalkeeper suffered the injury following a collision midway through the second half and was subsequently taken to hospital, where examinations confirmed the need for surgery. Although the procedure was successful and coach Alonso has reported encouraging progress in his recovery, Martinez is still expected to miss several weeks of competitive action. The coach expressed hope that his absence could be shorter than initially anticipated but stopped short of providing a definitive return date. Mike Penders, who replaced Martinez against Everton and earned praise from Alonso for his performance, is now the leading candidate to handle Chelsea's goalkeeping duties, starting with Saturday's clash against Tottenham. Martinez will continue his recovery before undergoing further assessments to determine when he can safely return to training and competitive action.
Undergoes successful jaw surgery
Martinez (jaw) underwent successful surgery after suffering a fractured jaw during Saturday's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton, according to the club.
Analysis: Martinez sustained the injury following a collision midway through the second half against Everton and was subsequently taken to hospital, where examinations confirmed a fractured jaw requiring surgery. The goalkeeper has since confirmed that the procedure went well and indicated that he expects to return within a few weeks, although Chelsea have yet to establish an official recovery timeline. Martinez is expected to miss several upcoming matches while recovering, with Mike Penders likely to take over goalkeeping duties in his absence.
