Martinez Says Broken Finger Scuppered Juventus Move Before Chelsea Transfer

Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez says he postponed surgery on a broken finger so he could play for Argentina at the World Cup. He said a protective glove affected his grip and that he continued to play through severe pain. The injury was later confirmed by an X-ray, ending a potential move to Juventus. Martinez said Chelsea completed his £7.5 million transfer despite the injury, although he expects to need surgery eventually. He is also recovering from a broken jaw sustained during Chelsea’s recent win over Everton.
