Wigan Athletic defender Antolin Alcaraz has been told he has not broken any ribs and could be available to face Chelsea on the weekend.
The Paraguayan was taken off during the 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion last week.
The club feared he may be out until the New Year with a break but an X-ray have revealed that there is no serious damage.
""The first reaction was very positive," Martinez said. "We had the X-ray back from the hospital and it is not a fractured rib, which was our first concern. "
"But it is too early to call if he will be fit for Saturday or not - the swelling is still there. Apart from that, everyone is fit."
