Emiliano Martinez - Could return ahead of schedule Martinez (jaw) is making encouraging progress in his recovery following surgery and could return sooner than initially expected, according to The Athletic. Impact Martinez has been sidelined since suffering a fractured jaw during Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Everton on Oct. 17, undergoing surgery shortly afterward. The goalkeeper was initially expected to miss several weeks, but positive developments in his rehabilitation have raised hopes of an earlier return, although no specific timeline has been established. He has recorded one clean sheet in six Premier League appearances this season since joining Chelsea from Aston Villa. Mike Penders has deputised in his absence and is expected to continue in goal until Martinez is cleared to return.
