However, Cristian Chivu is reluctant to remove the former Bayern Munich star from the starting lineup.

Chivu’s lads are on the verge of securing a second consecutive top-eight finish in the Champions League’s league phase.
With the club’s hopes of securing automatic last-16 qualification on the line, Chivu has no intention of benching the 36-year-old ace.
However, the Nerazzurri manager could hand Martinez his first Serie A start since September next weekend.
Furthermore, it would be the Spaniard’s first appearance since being involved in a tragic car accident last month.
