Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez had to undergo emergency surgery after fracturing his jaw against Everton last weekend, and manager Xabi Alonso refused to give a concrete timeline for his return, simply stating that he’ll hopefully be back in “a few weeks.”
A scary collision with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite saw Martínez rushed to the hospital with a head injury following extensive medical attention on the pitch during Chelsea’s 2–0 win.
