Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is doing everything he can to return to the pitch as quickly as possible after the jaw fracture that has kept him out of action in recent weeks.
According to a report by The Athletic, the Argentine goalkeeper has visited a specialist to assess his physical condition and the possibility of speeding up the recovery process. Martinez’s wish is to be available to the English side again before the originally projected deadline.
One of the options the goalkeeper is considering is the use of a special protective face mask. This solution could allow him to return to training and then to official matches, providing the necessary protection for the injured area.
According to sources cited in the report, there is optimism about a faster return than was previously anticipated; however, the final decision will depend on the progress of his recovery and the assessment of the medical staff in the days ahead.
Martinez’s return would be significant news for Chelsea, as the Argentine is one of the team’s key players and an experienced presence in goal.
