Martin Zubimendi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

Suffering from knee discomfort Zubimendi has withdrawn from Spain national team duty due to knee discomfort, according to the RFEF.

Impact Zubimendi is back in London with Arsenal after some knee discomfort arose after time in the Spain national team camp. Luckily for the midfielder, it appears that he is only not risking his health, likely to be fit again after a bit of time with his club. He has been an integral part of the midfield this year and is likely just preserving him as they push for league and UCL titles.

MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE

Steady presence in midfield Zubimendi has started in six of Arsenal's seven matches across all competitions since the beginning of March.

Impact The Spain international has been a regular in midfield for the Gunners alongside Declan Rice, but his fantasy contributions have been scarce since he's yet to record a goal or an assist in that span. Since Zubimendi has a more defensive-minded role in midfield, he's not expected to carry a ton of fantasy upside even if he continues to be a starter in midfield until the end of the season.
