The goalkeeper asked for the change at halftime of the match in which Aston Villa was defeated 3-0 by Chelsea.
The Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez would be the starter this Wednesday, despite having been confirmed the fracture he suffered in the little finger of his left hand.
According to journalist Gastón Edul, the winner of the “Lev Yashin” award for the best goalkeeper in the world will be in the game when Aston Villa hosts Brentford for the fourteenth round of the Premier League.
The goalkeeper, one of the figures of the Argentine national team, world champion and two-time champion of America, suffered a small break in that area of his body in the match in which his team lost 3-0 to the Chelsea.
After receiving a stomp from the forward Nicolas Jackson, Martínez asked for a change and did not take the field for the second half.
Aston Villa had a great start to the season, but stagnated in the last few days, and has a drought of five games without winning.
The “villains” will host Brentford starting at 5:15 p.m. at the Villa Park, stadium with capacity for 42,000 spectators.
