Option against Racing Santander Martinez (calf) will be an option for Saturday's clash against Racing Santander, according to coach Quique Sanchez. "Yes he trained fully and will be in the team tomorrow."

Impact Martinez had returned to training earlier this week after a calf injury suffered at the start of September, a scare that had raised concern about a possible multi-week absence. His full recovery now confirms he is ready to reclaim his starting role for Deportivo Alaves as the club continues its season.

Returns to training Martinez (calf) has returned to training as he recovers from injury, according to his club.

Impact Martinez is back in training with his teammates after a calf injury he suffered to start September. This is good news for the forward after he was speculated to be set for a few weeks out, as he could not be in for a return in the next match or two. That said, his recovery will determine his return date, with Alaves earning back a starting forward once he is fit.

Ruled out against Osasuna Martinez (calf) has been left out of the squad for Sunday's La Liga clash against Osasuna after failing a final fitness test on his soleus injury.

Impact Martinez had been given until close to kickoff to prove his fitness, but the forward continues to feel the effects of the minor soleus tear and wasn't cleared to feature. His absence removes one of Alaves' options to lead the attack, with Lucas Boye, Mariano Diaz and Aitor Manas available as alternatives up front. Martinez will now have additional time to recover before pushing for a return to training and match action.

Impact Martinez went down with a minor calf tear this week, but still has not been ruled out for Sunday's contest, with the forward left to be a late call. However, it does seem likely he will not start from the jump, likely to be an option from the bench if he is somehow deemed fit enough to play. Aitor Manas and Mariano are likely replacements for Martinez, as it seems most likely that Martinez will either be out or appear from the bench.

Suffers minor calf muscle tear Martinez has suffered a minor tear in the soleus muscle of his right leg, and is expected to be out between two and three weeks, according to Jon Prada of El Correo.

Impact Martinez was forced off in the second half of Friday's match against Villarreal, calling for medical attention before being substituted, and had been an ever present starter this season for Deportivo Alaves. Mariano figures to replace him in the attacking duo during his absence, and the club will hope this proves a manageable setback given the relatively short recovery window.

Asks for substitution Martinez was forced off in the 54th minute of Friday's match against Villarreal due to an apparent injury.

Unfortunately for the club, this will be something to monitor, as he is set to be a regular starter. He has yet to miss a start this season and was a regular last campaign, so the hope will be that his injury is only minor.
