Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez sustained a jaw injury during the match against Everton following a clash with defender Jared Branthwaite.
Initial reports suggest that the Argentine's recovery could take more than 40 days, which means he may miss several important Premier League matches.
This jaw injury could keep Martinez out of action for an extended period. The shot-stopper will be unavailable to help his team for several weeks.
The exact recovery timeline and a return date for the goalkeeper to full training have yet to be confirmed. The final decision will depend on medical assessments and the progress of his rehabilitation.
Due to this injury, the Argentine risks missing six upcoming matches for Chelsea in the Premier League:
Tottenham – home.
Liverpool – away.
Manchester United – home.
Sunderland – away.
Leeds United – home.
Nottingham Forest – away.
The absence of the experienced goalkeeper poses a significant challenge for the coaching staff. The team will need to find a reliable replacement during Martinez's recovery period.
