Emi Martinez is conscious but in hospital after a clash of heads with Branthwaite during Chelsea's 2-0 win at Everton

Emi Martinez is conscious but in hospital after a clash of heads with Branthwaite during Chelsea's 2-0 win at Everton

Checks on Emi Martinez's head, back and neck reportedly found no serious concern, but the jaw damage means he must stay under supervision. Xabi Alonso confirmed: 'It was a concussion.' The Argentine received oxygen on the pitch and was stretchered off after about 10 minutes of treatment. He is expected to miss at least a fortnight, putting next Saturday's visit of Tottenham in doubt.

Mike Penders came on to become Chelsea's youngest Premier League goalkeeper.

Two-goal hero Pedro Neto dedicated the 2-0 win to Martinez: 'This win is for him.'

Martinez had been fortunate to escape punishment for slow time-wasting before his injury.
