Story summary

Emi Martinez, Chelsea's goalkeeper, was taken to the hospital for "precautionary tests" after suffering a concussion during their 2-0 win over Everton in the Premier League on October 17, 2026. The incident occurred when Martinez collided with Jarrad Branthwaite while attempting to claim a cross from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's free-kick in the 68th minute of the match.

Manager Xabi Alonso stated that Martinez left the stadium conscious and was rushed to the hospital. Alonso said, "It was a concussion, but beyond that I do not know. We need to wait. Hopefully it will not be too serious, but at the moment we just have to wait."

The game marked Chelsea's first clean sheet in nine months, with Pedro Neto scoring both goals for the Blues. Martinez had earlier made an important save from Jack Grealish during the match and was substituted by Mike Penders, who then helped secure the clean sheet.

Martinez's condition is under observation, and Chelsea are expected to provide further updates as more information becomes available. The football world is hopeful that Martinez will recover without serious complications.
