Head collision.. The Chelsea goalkeeper suffers a horrific injury and is taken to the hospital

Emiliano Martinez, Chelsea's goalkeeper, suffered a serious injury during his club's match against Everton, at Hill Dickinson Stadium, on Saturday. The Argentine goalkeeper came out of his goal in the 67th minute during Everton's execution of a free kick towards the penalty area, in an attempt to clear the ball before he collided forcefully with the head of his rival Jarrad Branthwaite, knocking the Chelsea player to the ground.

The medical team quickly treated Emiliano Martinez, and the doctors put a neck protector on his neck and provided him with oxygen, before transporting him on a stretcher outside the green rectangle. Then, Belgian goalkeeper Mike Benders replaced Martinez, keeping a clean sheet in a match that ended in favor of the “Blues” with a score of 0/2, in the seventh round of the English Premier League.

Chelsea coach Xabi Alonso told TNT SPORTS: “As far as I know, Emiliano Martinez left the field while he was conscious, and he is now in the hospital undergoing precautionary examinations.” "Let's see, but this is what I know so far," the 44-year-old added.
