Chelsea goalkeeper Martinez says he’ll be back playing in a few weeks after a head clash

Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez is set to return to action in a few weeks following a head collision during his team's 2-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League. The incident occurred on Saturday when Martinez and Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite locked horns while contesting a cross.

After over eight minutes of medical attention, the Argentine international was wheeled away on a stretcher by ambulance. Martinez later shared a photograph from his hospital bed on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the support he received, stating that the operation had gone smoothly.

Prior to his injury, Martinez contributed to Chelsea's impressive 2-0 win, which also secured the club's first clean sheet in the Premier League in nine months.
