Dibu Martinez, a terrifying collision on the field: the goalkeeper is carried off on a stretcher

A big scare for Emiliano “Dibu” Martinez during the Everton-Chelsea match. The Argentine goalkeeper, who had long been linked to Juventus this summer, was forced to leave the field on a stretcher after a violent collision during the game. His condition immediately raised concerns.

The incident occurred around the 65th minute of the match, following a free kick awarded to Everton. While attempting to reach the ball, Martinez collided with Jarrad Branthwaite, the home team’s center back.

Upon impact, the side of the English defender’s forehead accidentally struck the Argentine goalkeeper’s jaw, and he immediately required medical attention. Medical staff quickly entered the field to provide first aid to both players. Martinez fared the worst, remaining on the ground and unable to get up for about ten minutes.

After a lengthy medical assessment, the goalkeeper left the field on a stretcher, to the concern of teammates, opponents, and fans. Penders came on to replace him in goal. Attention is now focused on Dibu Martinez’s condition. Updates are expected to determine the true extent of the injury and his recovery timeline.
