Concedes once in Sunday's win Martinez recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Martinez conceded an early goal Sunday, but he pulled it together and helped his side secure a comeback win. He has now conceded exactly one goal in four straight matches. He faces a very difficult matchup Sunday versus Manchester City, a side which has scored 17 goals through eight matches this season.

Solid in return Martinez registered one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over Burnley. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.

Impact After missing the last game, Martinez returned to the goal and did enough to help his side hang on for the win. This was just the second time in five league games that he made no more than one save. However, he has yet to concede more than one goal in a game this season. Up next for Aston Villa is a meeting with Tottenham on October 19.

Starting against Burnley Martinez (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Burnley.

Impact Martinez was a late call for Sunday with some undisclosed injuries, but has already made his way back to the call, passing some testing to be an option. He immediately earns the start and should continue in this role, starting in all five of his appearances this season.

Late call for Sunday Martinez (undisclosed) is a late call for Sunday's match against Burnley, according to manager Unai Emery. "He's just had a scan an hour before the press conference and I don't kno...

Impact Martinez was a late scratch from Thursday's match and is now going to be a late call for Sunday, needing some testing to determine if he can play or not. This will decide who will be given the start in net Sunday, as the goalie is their regular starter when fit. However, if he is left out and unable to compete again, Marco Bizot is set to be his replacement.

Late scratch Thursday Martinez was a late scratch before Thursday's clash with Feyenoord.

Impact Martinez was scratched from the starting XI just minutes before Thursday's clash with Feyenoord. The goalkeeper has struggled with a few injuries of late, including a muscular issue that kept him out for the Europa League opener. None of the injuries have been serious, but the amount this early in the season has prevented Martinez from building a rhythm. Marco Bizot gets the start Thursday, and will be in line for the start during Sunday's clash with Burnley.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Three saves, one goal conceded Martinez recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 3-1 win against Fulham.

Impact Before the Villa-Fulham game, Martinez's previous appearance saw Martinez log the same output against Sunderland. While solid, there is obviously room for significant improvement on Martinez, and his next Premier League opportunity comes Oct. 5 against Burnley.

Starting Sunday Martinez (strain) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Fulham.

Impact Martinez was a late call for Sunday after he was set for some assessment ahead of the contest, appearing to pass after being given the starting role to face Fulham. The keeper should remain the starter now that he is fit again, recording one clean sheet, two goals allowed and six saves in three appearances this season.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Still being assessed Martinez is uncertain for Sunday's clash with Fulham, per manager Unai Emery."It's a small injury for Emi Martinez and hopefully he'll be available for Sunday."

Impact Martinez missed Thursday's clash with Bologna due to a small knock, bringing Marco Bizot into the starting XI. If Martinez can get fit for Sunday's clash he would be straight into the XI, though it's not clear what the issue is beyond a minor muscular concern.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out Thursday Martinez is out for Thursday's Europa League clash with Bologna due to a minor muscle issue, Jacob Tanswell reports.

Impact Martinez isn't playing in the Europa League opener, with Marco Bizot instead starting. It's not thought to be a serious concern, but Martinez could be in doubt for Sunday's clash with Fulham back in Premier League action. It would be Bizot in the starting XI once more if Martinez is ruled out.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up equalizer to 10-man team Martinez recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Sunderland.

Impact Aston Villa was unable to keep Sunderland out of its goal despite being a man up, and Martinez is partially to blame for that. The goalkeeper has a favorable matchup against Bologna on Thursday in Europa League play. The side only has three goals in four Serie A games.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two saves in scoreless draw Martinez had two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Everton.

Impact Martinez turned aside each of the shots on target he faced Saturday and made two clearances en route to recording his first clean sheet of the campaign in a goalless draw versus Everton. After speculation of a move away from the club during the summer transfer window, the veteran keeper is expected to continue as Villa's first choice between the sticks this season. Martinez will look to replicate his clean sheet performance Sunday when Villa return to league play versus Sunderland.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't leave club Martinez didn't leave Aston Villa during the summer transfer window and is expected to be available as the starting goalkeeper going forward.

Impact Martinez is 100 percent healthy, as evidenced by the fact that he played the full 90 minutes in the Argentina win over Venezuela on Thursday in the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifiers. He was linked with a move to Manchester United, but the transfer fell through, so he's expected to take over the starting role between the posts over Marco Bizot. Bizot started two of Villa's first three matches this season due to the transfer uncertainty surrounding the Argentinean.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out to face Palace Martinez is out for Sunday's match against Crystal Palace due to undisclosed reasons.

Impact Martinez was not on the team sheet just ahead of the transfer deadline Sunday, with the goalie appearing to be on his way out after months of a possible move out. This will leave Marco Bizot to start in net moving forward, a likely replacement unless the club makes a last-second signing. That said, it appears Martinez may have played his last minutes for the club after being left out.

AUGUST 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes once in defeat Martinez made one save and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Brentford.

Impact Martinez had a rough season debut, as he was only able to make one save in the one-goal loss. There were only six games in 37 league appearances last season where he made no more than a single save. Up next for Aston Villa is a meeting with Crystal Palace on Sunday.

AUGUST 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Clears suspension Martinez is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Martinez has cleared his suspension from the straight red card he received against Manchester United in the final game of the 2024/25 season, with the goalkeeper set to return in their next contest. He was expected to be on the move this summer but is still an Aston Villa player and is expected to reclaim his starting role between the posts, although Marco Bizot arrived during the summer transfer window.

Sees straight red Martinez was shown a red card in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United.

Impact Martinez had his day end just ahead of halftime Sunday, with the goalie seeing a straight red card after taking down an attacker far outside of the box. This will leave him suspended to end the season and to start the next campaign, a tough loss for the club, as he is a regular starter. He ends the season starting in all 37 of his appearances, notching eight clean sheets, 45 goals allowed and 100 saves.

Keeps clean sheer Friday Martinez recorded one save and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Martinez has a very easy day Friday as his defense only allowed one shot on target through 90 minutes. It marked his third consecutive match with a clean sheet, a streak that has come at a great time with his side in a battle for a spot in next season's Champions League. He finishes the season with a favorable matchup at Manchester United, a side which will be coming off Wednesday's Europa League Final and has scored just 42 goals through 37 matches this season.

MAY 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Martinez held on for a second consecutive clean sheet and made at least three saves for a third consecutive league game, totaling 11 saves in that span. Up next for Aston Villa is a meeting with Tottenham on Friday.

Secures clean sheet in victory Martinez registered three saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Fulham.

Impact Martinez maintained a clean sheet making three saves to preserve Aston Villa's narrow lead on Saturday. He confidently handled a header from Harry Wilson in the second half and managed the game's tempo effectively. The Argentinian had an overall quiet outing to secure his sixth clean sheet of the season in 34 appearances in the Premier League. He will aim to find another one against Bournemouth on Saturday.
