Emiliano Martinez has said he is still “playing with pain” after opting against surgery on a broken finger in order to play at this summer’s World Cup with Argentina. The goalkeeper added that if he had undergone surgery, he would have been out for six weeks and would have missed the tournament, but that his finger “would have gone back to normal”, and now “it won’t ever return” to being how it was, with the bone “out of place”.   submitted by   /u/TheAthletic [link]   [comments]
