Emiliano Martinez playing for Chelsea
Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez says he will be back "in a few weeks" after breaking his jaw in the 2-0 Premier League win at Everton on Saturday.
The 34-year-old Argentina international and Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite clashed heads in the second half at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Martinez needed treatment for eight minutes before leaving the pitch on a stretcher. He was taken to hospital, where Chelsea said he had "successful" surgery.
On Sunday, he posted a photo of himself wearing a hospital gown on social media.
"Thanks to everyone for the messages. The operation went well," he wrote.
"The most important thing is that we won, and kept a clean sheet. In a few weeks we'll be back."
