Cup qualifier against Argentina on Tuesday after suffering
an ankle sprain.
The Atletico Madrid striker sustained the injury in the closing
stages of the 1-1 qualifying draw against Chile on Thursday.
Martinez, who has 10 goals in 35 appearances for
Colombia, underwent two scans to determine the full extent
of the sprain.
A statement from Colombia read: "After completing the
relevant examinations today and assessing the development
of forward Jackson Martinez by the medical department of
Colombia, it has been determined that the player cannot be
considered for the next match on Tuesday, November 17,
due to a sprained ankle."
Jose Pekerman will also be without Carlos Sanchez and
Santiago Arias for the upcoming clash, after the defensive
duo picked up their second yellow cards in three qualifying
fixtures.
