Arsenal facing injury crisis as 10 players leave international duty
- On Sunday, the Spanish federation released Martin Zubimendi from its national squad due to right knee discomfort, ruling the 27-year-old out of Tuesday's friendly against Egypt at RCDE Stadium.
- Zubimendi appeared as a late substitute for Rodri in Friday's 3-0 win over Serbia, playing 13 minutes, and has become a near-permanent starter for Arsenal this season.
- The RFEF stated the decision was made "to avoid any risk and protect the player's health," and Arsenal's medical staff have been fully informed of the entire process.

- Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hopes the midfielder recovers for the FA Cup quarter-final against Southampton next weekend, as Zubimendi will not return to the national setup until summer World Cup warm-ups.
