Martinez came out to meet a cross into the area and collided with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite midway through the second half at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

While Branthwaite continued to play after a concussion test, Martinez had to come off the field because of an apparent head injury and was replaced by Mike Penders.

Medical staff from both teams attended to Martinez, who — British broadcaster TNT Sports reported — was being taken to the hospital. Martinez was seen moving his arms as he was being taken off the field.

The score was 1-0 to Chelsea at the time.
