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.
- Zubimendi is the latest Arsenal player to withdraw from international duty over the past 24 hours, as teammates Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, and Noni Madueke also returned to London Colney with fitness issues.
- 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.
