Emiliano Martinez has made an early return to Chelsea training after jaw surgery, according to The Chelsea Chronicle. He was initially expected to be out for 40 days, but has been spotted training with protective strapping around his jaw. Martinez is pushing to start on Sunday against Sunderland. The Argentine outlet La 100 reported on his return to training.

Martinez's recovery is considered remarkable, having undergone surgery just two weeks ago. He has been recovering quickly and is likely to wear protective strapping if he plays on Sunday. The Chelsea goalkeeper has been training alongside Jordan Henderson and Aaron Anselmino. His return could impact the chances of understudy Mike Penders.

Martinez's initial absence was expected to last for several games, including matches against Sunderland, Leeds, and Forest. However, he is now set to be available for the Sunderland game and potentially for Argentina's upcoming fixtures against Uruguay and Costa Rica. His return is a boost for both Chelsea and Argentina.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Emi Martinez has made a surprise, early return to Chelsea training ahead of this weekend’s clash against Sunderland, having been called up to play for Argentina during the break. The Chelsea goalkeeper has been recovering from jaw surgery after a nasty collision with Everton player Jarrad Branthwaite during the 2-0 win at the Hill Dickinson. Initial reports said he’d be out for 40 days. That would see Martinez miss four Chelsea games before the break, two with Argentina during the break, and then two more afterwards, against Leeds and Forest.
