Undergoes successful surgery Martinez (knee) underwent a successful surgery for his torn ACL on Thursday and will begin his long term recovery with the NYCFC staff, the club announced.

Impact Martinez underwent a successful surgery to repair his torn ACL suffered while on international duty with Costa Rica, and he will now begin his long term recovery. This will keep him away from the pitches for about 10 months, which will likely make him miss almost the whole 2026 MLS season, with a return expected around late September, early October. The striker still has a contract going through 2027 with options for 2028 and 2029, suggesting he won't have pressure and will be able to recover in good conditions with the hope to return to his best level. Martinez scored 19 goals in 33 appearances this season for NYCFC, two more than the previous campaign, highlighting the importance he had in the frontline.

Suffers torn ACL Martinez (knee) played the full game but suffered a torn ACL in Thursday's 1-0 defeat against Haiti, the Costa Rican Federation confirmed, according to ESPN Centroamerica.

Impact Martinez suffered a torn ACL in Thrusday's defeat against Haiti although he played the full game and will have to undergo a surgery and spent eight to 10 months on the sidelines to recover from that injury. This is a massive blow for New York City FC since they are fighting in the MLS playoffs and Martinez is the undisputed striker when fit and available. Nicolas Fernandez is expected to play as the striker and Agustin Ojeda to start on the right wing for the time being.

Impact Martinez had only 30 minutes in his legs for Wednesday's clash against Inter Miami as he is dealing with a quadriceps injury and couldn't earn a starting role because of it. Seeing him play half an hour is somewhat positive and suggests he will be able to feature in Saturday's derby against New York Red Bulls. If he has to miss the game or start on the bench again, Nicolas Fernandez will likely replace him in the striker position.
