Jackson Martinez to have ankle sprain assessed

Jackson Martinez will undergo a second scan to
determine the extent of damage to his sprained left
ankle sustained on international duty.

Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez sustained a sprained
left ankle during Colombia's 1-1 World Cup qualifying draw
against Chile on Thursday, the Liga club has confirmed.

Martinez was substituted during the closing stages of the match
in Santiago and an initial scan revealed a sprain.

The 29-year-old, who has three goals in 15 appearances for
Atletico following his close-season move from Porto, is set to
undergo a second scan to determine the full extent of his injury.

A statement on Atletico's official website read: "In a first scan,
medical services... consider [the] Atletico striker sprained
the medial collateral ligament (deltoid) in his left ankle.

"Jackson Martinez will undergo an MRI in Barranquilla to
confirm the extent of his injury."

Colombia host Argentina in their next qualifier on Tuesday, while
Atletico resume La Liga action with a trip to Real Betis a week
on Sunday.
