Nigeria striker Obafemi Martins is nursing a calf injury and as such did not feature for Seattle Sounders against San Jose Earthquakes.
.
'Obagoal' suffered a calf injury in the game against Vancouver and so was ruled out of the weekend game.
.
The former Levante of Spain striker has been unlucky with injuries since he joined the Major League Soccer (MLS) side.
.
"Oba still hasn't recovered from the kick he took in the calf in the Vancouver game," disclosed Seattle coach Sigi Schmid.
.
Martins was picked for the MLS Team of Week 20 following his brace against DC United.
.
He has scored seven goals since he joined Seattle Sounders.
Obafemi Martins should just consider retirement once and for all because he is getting too old for football. I support his retirement.
