The extent of Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez's injury has been confirmed after a sickening clash of heads away at Everton.

The four Premier League clubs playing in the lesser continental competitions face each other on Sunday – but three are struggling domestically The sun shone. The temperature was in the high 20s. There was a mood of great conviviality. If you were struggling with the official allocation, it turned out you could just email the president of Torreense and he’d sort you out. Were these “Nuno-tickets” real? It turned out they were. Not only that, but you could sit anywhere you wanted in a stadium too big for the game and, if you happened to have gravitated to the comfortable hospitality seating at the back of the lower tier, the beer was inexplicably free. Locals in Leiria seemed bewildered but could hardly have been more accommodating. A beer pump had been installed outside a patisserie on the Praça Francisco Rodrigues Lobo, whose owner soon found fans happy to help stack empty barrels if that facilitated the free flow of Sagres. “There was a meeting at the town hall to explain these are not hooligans,” said the owner of a radical leftist flammkuchen restaurant between the square and the cathedral. “They told us the club comes from the labour movement and I found that very interesting.” And how had she found the fans? “Noisy, but with a quirky sense of humour.” Continue reading...

Express Sport rounds up the latest FPL injury news after a hectic Saturday.

Chelsea goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was rushed hospital following a horror collision in the west London club's clash against Everton on Saturday. Manager Xabi Alonso confirmed the Argentine international was to hospital for "precautionary tests" after sustaining what he described as a concussion during the Blues' 2-0 win at the Hill Dickinson stadium. The injury occurred in the 68th minute after the shot stopper attempted to claim a cross from former Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Martinez collided with Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, with play stopped for 10 minutes while he received treatment. Branthwaite was able to carry on after being treated by medics during the lengthy stoppage. Martinez received oxygen on the pitch, before being carried off the pitch on a stretcher after being unfit to continue. The Argentine was substituted for Mike Penders, who made his Premier League debut for Chelsea. The Belgian keeper saw out the remainder of the match, helping the Blues secure their first clean sheet in the league for more than nine months. After play resumed, Pedro Neto bagged his second of the match to ensure his side took all three points back to the capital. Asked about Martinez's injury after the game, the Chelsea boss said: "It was a concussion, but beyond that I do not know. I have only seen one clip of the incident, so we need to wait. "What we know is that he left the stadium conscious and is now in hospital undergoing precautionary tests. "We need to wait. Hopefully it will not be too serious, but at the moment we just have to wait."

The Portuguese winger said: “We are really pleased. It is a shame for Emi but we wish him all the best. This win is for him. We are really happy but of course our thoughts are for him. “It’s in his honour. We needed a clean sheet. We needed a good game. Emi deserved this. "Mike (Penders) who came in deserved this as well. So we are really happy.” It remains unknown whether Martinez will be fit enough to feature in Chelsea's looming clashes against Tottenham, Liverpool and Man United.

Liverpool came from behind to clinch a 2-1 win over nine-man Brentford, with Alexander Isak rifling a left-footed effort into the bottom-right hand corner to grab his fifth goal of the season.
