Terrible collision for Emiliano Martinez. Chelsea goalkeeper after jaw surgery

The operation was "successful," Chelsea said in a statement.

"We'll be back in a few weeks," the Argentine goalkeeper, the 2022 world champion, wrote on social media, adding a photo of himself in a hospital bed.

On Saturday, Emiliano Martinez and home team defender Jarrad Branthwaite clashed heads while fighting for the ball.

The Argentine was helped by the medical staff of both teams for about 10 minutes. He was later carried off the pitch on a stretcher and taken to hospital.

Chelsea won the match 2-0 and moved to fourth place in the table. He leads Manchester City with a complete set of seven victories, having defeated Ipswich Town 3-2 at home.
