Emiliano Martinez expects to return to Chelsea in weeks after surgery

Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez announced he will be fit in a few weeks after undergoing surgery following his injury during the 2-0 win against Everton on Saturday. The 34-year-old sustained a concussion after a collision with Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and was subsequently hospitalized. Manager Xabi Alonso confirmed the injury, stating that Martinez left the pitch on a stretcher. In his absence, Mike Penders made his Premier League debut as goalkeeper and is expected to start in Chelsea's upcoming matches, which include fixtures against Tottenham and Manchester United, along with a Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool.
