The Argentine media continues to share positive news about Emiliano Martínez’s situation.
With the Aston Villa goalkeeper being subbed off during the match against Chelsea at the weekend, initial reports had said that due to a muscle strain, he’d stay sidelined for a couple of weeks.
Now as journalist Gaston Edul comes up with an update on the situation, he claims Martinez should be fit a lot sooner than that.
It’s highlighted that the Aston Villa goalkeeper was smart to leave the pitch at the right time, avoiding a muscle injury.
Martinez is now expected to train separately for a few days, and be ready for the match against Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend, which should be crucial for Unai Emery’s side in the fight for a place in the Champions League. Even if he isn’t ready for that game, then he’d be fit for the second leg of the Conference League semifinals against Olympiacos.
Edul makes it clear that the goalkeeper is not missing ‘that important game’ in the European competition, and that’s undoubtedly a relief for all Aston Villa fans.
