Alarm for Argentina: Dibu Martínez injured, out for Aston Villa | OneFootball

The world champion from Mar del Plata was announced as a starter, but left the field during the warm-up. This Thursday, Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez got injured during Aston Villa's warm-up and was removed from the official lineup when he was set to start against Feyenoord in the Europa League. The 32-year-old from Mar del Plata had "a physical problem," as reported when Marco Bizot was seen entering the field in the Netherlands.

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

While awaiting the official medical report, the only thing observed during the warm-up was that Dibu was performing some long clearances, typical in specific drills, and raised his left arm towards the coaching staff as he walked off the field.

Evidently, he felt a muscular discomfort and it is speculated that he probably chose to be cautious considering the timing of the season. The coach of the Argentine National Team, Lionel Scaloni, has to announce the list of players for the upcoming FIFA date friendlies in October, in the United States, starting Monday.

Unai Emery's team struggled greatly to secure the victory at Feyenoord's stadium. After winning 1-0 against Bologna, they repeated the victory (0-2) with second-half goals from Emi Buendía and John MacGinn, which ended the English team's suffering at the 'De Kuip' stadium, perhaps the toughest venue they will visit in the league phase.
