Chelsea’s injury-hit Emi Martinez expects to return in ‘a few weeks’

Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez said his operation went well and that he expects to return in a few weeks. He was injured in a clash with Jarrad Branthwaite during Chelsea’s 2-0 win at Everton on Saturday and was taken to hospital with concussion. His injury gave 21-year-old Mike Penders his Premier League debut, and the goalkeeper helped Chelsea record their first league clean sheet since January. Penders is likely to deputise until Martinez is cleared to resume training.
