Martin Zubimendi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Returns to bench against Nottingham Forest Zubimendi (ankle) is available off the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest after recovering from an ankle injury.

Impact Zubimendi returns to Arsenal's matchday squad after suffering an ankle injury during training following the 2-1 victory over Leeds United, which forced him to miss Tuesday's Champions League win against Lille. The Spanish midfielder has made five Premier League appearances this season, all as a substitute, totaling 89 minutes without recording a goal or an assist. His inclusion on the bench provides manager Mikel Arteta with an additional midfield option, although his recent injury and limited playing time suggest he could continue to be used in a reserve role as he works toward full fitness.

Could return against Nottingham Forest Zubimendi (ankle) is making encouraging progress in his recovery and could be available for Sunday's Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest, according to coach Mikel Arteta...

Impact Zubimendi is nearing a return after suffering an ankle injury during a training session following Arsenal's 2-1 win against Leeds United. The Spanish midfielder subsequently missed Tuesday's Champions League victory over Lille, although his condition has improved significantly over the past few days. Manager Arteta confirmed that Zubimendi is responding well to treatment and will be assessed following Saturday's training session, leaving the door open for his return against Nottingham Forest. The midfielder has played just 89 minutes across five Premier League appearances this season, all off the bench, recording no goals or assists. Given his limited involvement and recent injury, Zubimendi could initially be restricted to a substitute role if cleared to feature Sunday.

Impact Zubimendi missed Tuesday's Champions League win over Lille after suffering an ankle injury during a post-match training session. The midfielder is recovering well, although his availability will depend on how he responds to pain when returning to the pitch. He has played just 89 minutes across five Premier League appearances this season, all off the bench, recording no goals or assists. His limited role means a potential absence against Nottingham Forest would have little impact on Arsenal's starting midfield.

Sidelined with ankle injury Zubimendi suffered an ankle injury Saturday during a post-match training session and will miss Tuesday's game against Lille, but he could return for Sunday's game against Nottingha...

Impact Zubimendi was one of two players injured in Saturday's post-match training session, but unlike Piero Hincapie (ankle), who's expected to miss around three weeks, Zubimendi could be back Sunday at Nottingham. He'll miss Tuesday's match against Lille, though. The Spanish midfielder lost his starting place, and since he's buried on the midfield depth chart, his absence shouldn't generate many fantasy decisions.

Misses out against Lille Zubimendi (undisclosed) is unavailable for Tuesday's Champions League meeting with Lille after picking up a knock following Saturday's 2-1 win over Leeds United, according to coach...

Impact Zubimendi sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's post-match training session despite remaining on the bench throughout Arsenal's victory over Leeds. The midfielder has featured in all five Premier League fixtures this season and remains an important option in Arsenal's midfield rotation. His absence against Lille reduces the available midfield depth, with Bruno Guimaraes among the alternatives to take on additional responsibilities. Further scans are scheduled to establish the severity of the injury and determine how long Zubimendi could remain sidelined.

Impact Zubimendi appears to have suffered a setback after Arsenal's weekend victory, although the nature and severity of the injury remain unclear. The midfielder was absent from Monday's training session, raising concerns about his availability for Tuesday's European matchup against the Dogues. Zubimendi has featured in all five of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures this season before remaining on the bench Saturday. His potential absence would further limit Arsenal's midfield rotation, with Bruno Guimaraes among the options available to manager Mikel Arteta.

Two shots off bench Zubimendi registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 loss versus Brighton.

Impact Zubimendi came on for Bruno Guimaraes in the 60th minute and registered two shots without troubling Bart Verbruggen and one interception across 30 minutes as Arsenal pushed unsuccessfully for a foothold in the match. His introduction did not alter the dynamic of a contest Brighton had already won comfortably by the time he entered. Zubimendi has now featured in all five of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures this season from the bench.

Sees late minutes Zubimendi recorded one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Sunderland.

Impact Zubimendi replaced Declan Rice in the 81st minute with Arsenal protecting a narrow advantage and won his only attempted tackle during the closing stages. His late introduction left little time to influence the match going forward before Arsenal added a second goal. Zubimendi continues to compete for minutes in a crowded midfield.

Records three interceptions Zubimendi recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Chelsea.

Impact Zubimendi came off the bench in the second half of Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, registering one shot and three interceptions across his 23 minutes as Arsenal managed the closing stages of the match. The Spanish midfielder has now come off the bench in all three Premier League matches of the season, operating as a reliable defensive midfield option behind Declan Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelly in the squad hierarchy, and his three interceptions in 23 minutes on Sunday reflect the defensive intelligence and positional awareness that make him a high-quality depth option for manager Mikel Arteta.
