www.espn.inHere’s the latest on Martín Zubimendi based on recent coverage:
Spain squad news: Zubimendi was released from the Spain camp due to knee discomfort, with the federation saying the move was to avoid any risk and that Arsenal’s medical staff were kept fully informed [source coverage from early April 2026]. This implies he’ll miss upcoming Spain friendlies as he recovers [source coverage from early April 2026]. The news noted he came on as a substitute versus Serbia prior to his release [source coverage from early April 2026]. [ESPN/AS-type summaries are among the reports circulating these details.]
Club context: He remains a key part of Arsenal’s midfield this season, having appeared regularly across competitions, reinforcing that any absence for injury would be managed carefully by both his club and the national team [source: multiple 2025–2026 transfer and match reports].
Transfer chatter: In the broader transfer chatter from 2024–2025, Zubimendi has been at the center of persistent speculation about moves to major clubs (notably Real Madrid) while Arsenal have signaled strong interest and a potential release-clause scenario; however, in 2025–26 that speculation has largely given way to injury/fitness updates tied to Spain duty and match readiness rather than imminent transfers [various reports].
