The Spanish national football team suffers a setback with Martín Zubimendi's withdrawal due to knee discomfort. Zubimendi returns to London for medical supervision by Arsenal's staff.
What happened?
Zubimendi's withdrawal occurred after an evaluation by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF)'s medical team. The decision was made to avoid risks and preserve the player's health.
Why is it important for Spain?
The absence of Zubimendi leaves the Spanish midfield without a key player who usually provides defensive solidity and creative ability. The technical team considers internal alternatives to cover the potential absence of the player.
What comes next?
Spain faces Egypt on Tuesday at the RCDE Stadium at 21:00 hours. The Federation emphasized that the measure represents a common practice when the physical integrity of an international player is compromised.
