Chelsea's Emiliano Martinez Undergoes Jaw Surgery After Injury

Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has undergone successful surgery for a fractured jaw following an injury sustained during a match against Everton. The incident occurred during the second half of the English Premier League match on Saturday, where Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Martinez collided with an Everton defender and was subsequently stretchered off the field after a lengthy delay. He was transported to a hospital in Liverpool for further assessment, which confirmed the fracture and necessitated surgery.

Chelsea expressed their support for Martinez during his recovery, stating, “Everyone at Chelsea wishes Emi a speedy recovery and will support him throughout.” Martinez, who joined Chelsea at the start of the season, managed to keep his first clean sheet for the club in this match and anticipates being out for a few weeks.
