Colombia confirm that Atletico Madrid forward Jackson Martinez suffered a sprained ankle during his country's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Chile on Thursday.

Colombia have confirmed that Atletico Madrid striker Jackson Martinez will miss his country's World Cup qualifier against Argentina on Tuesday with an ankle injury.

The 29-year-old picked up the problem in Colombia's 1-1 draw with Chile on Thursday and the extent of the damage has now been revealed.

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."
