Martín Zubimendi, midfielder for Arsenal, was released from the Spanish national team this Sunday due to physical complaints. The Gunners player, who faces Sporting in the UEFA Champions League, left the camp due to issues with his right knee, following a decision made by the coaching staff to avoid any physical risk. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) confirmed that the priority is to preserve the player's physical condition and that Arsenal's medical staff has been kept informed of the athlete's progress and the protocol adopted during the international commitments. With this release, the Basque player will miss Spain's second friendly match, scheduled for this Tuesday, March 31, at 8 PM, against Egypt. Zubimendi, who came on in the 78th minute of La Roja's 3-0 victory over Serbia last Friday, has become the 12th Arsenal player to join the group of athletes with physical complaints at the club. The Premier League leaders will face Sporting in the Champions League on April 7 and 15.
