The world champion from Mar del Plata was announced as a starter, but he left the field during warm-up. This Thursday, Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez was injured during Aston Villa's warm-up and was removed from the official roster when he was going to be a starter against Feyenoord, for the Europa League. The 32-year-old from Mar del Plata had "a physical problem", as was reported when Marco Bizot was seen entering the field in the Netherlands.
While waiting for the official medical report, the only thing that could be seen during the warm-up was that Dibu was performing some usual long clearances in specific works and raised his left arm towards the technical body, while he was leaving the place walking.
He evidently felt a muscle discomfort and it is speculated that he probably preferred to take care considering the time of the season. The coach of the Argentina national team, Lionel Scaloni, has to give in the next few hours the list of players called up for the FIFA date friendlies in October, in the United States, starting from Monday.
Unai Emery's team struggled a lot to take the victory at Feyenoord's stadium. After winning 1-0 against Bologna, they repeated the victory (0-2) with goals in the second half from Emi Buendía and John MacGinn, which ended the suffering of the English team at the 'De Kuip' stadium, perhaps the most difficult venue they will visit in the league phase.
