Overview
- Martinoli missed the Mazatlán vs. Chivas and Toluca vs. Cruz Azul broadcasts after being promoted to call the first match, with César Castro stepping in on air.
- David Medrano said Martinoli arrived at TV Azteca but felt unwell before kickoff and was sent home by production to recover.
- Medrano now characterizes the issue as a non-serious stomach infection and says recovery is progressing with a short-term return expected.
- There is still no formal medical statement, and food-related theories circulating in media and social networks remain unconfirmed.
- Luis García’s on-air remark that Martinoli was “about to die” intensified concern on social media, as rival host Esteban Arce publicly wished him a speedy recovery.
