VillaChris Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Last time he went off at half time was v Brentford. He played three days later v Fulham so hopefully not a doubt for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 It was noticeable he was wearing some support on the back of his leg.... Wise to take him off, the match was won. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 53 minutes ago, GingerCollins29 said: Why did he come off? Is he injured? Emery said that he mentioned some mild pain at half time, so they didn’t want to risk him second half. Hopefully nothing too serious. Martinez injury concern “He told us in the first half he had a small pain and we didn’t want to take any risks with him. We decided to play with Olsen in the second half,” Emery said in the post-match press conference. Based on the head coach’s body language as he described Martinez’s issue, it would appear it wasn’t a serious one and merely a precautionary measure to take him off. That can’t be taken as gospel as there simply wasn’t any confirmation of exactly what it was the goalkeeper suffered with, but Emery didn’t look overly concerned. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
