Emi Martinez was stretchered off during the second-half in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Everton
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso confirmed that goalkeeper Emi Martinez was conscious when taken to the hospital following a head injury. The Argentine shot-stopper was carried off after a severe collision with Jarrad Branthwaite during Chelsea's 2-0 Premier League victory.
