Emiliano Martinez Injury: Out for FA Cup

Martinez is out for Saturday's match against Tottenham due to a calf injury, John Townley of Birmingham Live reports.

Martinez exited the club's match midweek at halftime after complaints of an injury and is now missing time, out for Saturday's FA Cup match. While this is not related to his recent back issues, it could stop him from playing for an extended period. He will now hope to return when they resume league play on Jan. 18 against Everton, with Marco Bizot as a replacement while he is out.
