Arsenal in distress, Spanish midfielder injured during training

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi has been forced to leave the national team due to a problem in his right knee, making him unavailable for the friendly against Egypt, which will take place in Barcelona.

In an official statement, the Spanish Football Federation announced that the player has left to avoid any further risk and protect his health, while Arsenal's medical staff have been informed of the situation.

The 27-year-old was not a starter in the last match against Serbia, where he came on as a second-half substitute, but was expected to play from the first minute in the next match. However, the injury has changed plans, forcing him to return to London for more detailed examinations.

The situation has worried coach Mikel Arteta, as the "Gunners" are still competing on several important fronts such as the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League, while they recently lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City.
