Martinez, the 34-year-old Argentina international, shared an update on social media on Sunday from his hospital bed. He posted a photograph and wrote, "Thanks to everyone for the messages. The operation went well. The most important thing is that we won, and kept a clean sheet. In a few weeks we'll be back."
