Chelsea's Martinez 'Conscious' After Being Hospitalized Following Head Clash in Premier League Game
Chelsea won 2-0 as Pedro Neto scored twice, but the match was delayed more than 10 minutes after Emi Martinez left on a stretcher.
- On Saturday, Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez was taken to hospital for "precautionary tests" after colliding with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite during the Premier League match at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
- The 34-year-old goalkeeper, signed in a £7.5 million deal from Aston Villa, remained motionless after the second-half impact; medical staff provided over 10 minutes of treatment before Martinez was stretchered off.
- Supporters at Hill Dickinson Stadium reacted with mixed responses as boos erupted while Martinez left the field; some fans claimed jeers targeted Chelsea supporters chanting poverty slogans, while others insisted abuse was directed at Martinez.
- Pedro Neto scored two goals sealing a 2-0 victory, while manager Xabi Alonso gave 21-year-old Belgian Mike Penders his Premier League debut, securing Chelsea's first clean sheet since January.
- Concussion protocols will prevent Martinez from returning to training immediately, leaving Penders as the likely starter when Chelsea hosts Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday, followed by a League Cup match at Liverpool on October 28.
