Zubimendi is the latest player to join Arsenal's injury list. |
On the evening of March 29th, Martin Zubimendi delivered bad news to Arsenal. The midfielder was forced to withdraw from the Spanish national team due to a problem with his right knee, meaning he will miss the friendly match against Egypt. The Spanish Football Federation confirmed the decision was made to avoid further risks and fully informed Arsenal's medical team.
At the same time, Piero Hincapie had to leave the Ecuador national team. The versatile defender suffered an injury in the friendly draw against Morocco on March 28th. He was immediately sent back to London for a detailed medical examination, raising concerns about Arsenal's already severely depleted squad.
Not only Zubimendi and Hincapie, but a host of other key Arsenal players also faced problems during the FIFA Days in March. On the morning of March 29th, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, and Noni Madueke all left the England training camp simultaneously due to injuries, further exacerbating the Gunners' personnel situation.
The current injury list has reached 12 players, including many key figures such as Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Leandro Trossard, Jurrien Timber, and Martin Odegaard. Arsenal's squad depth has been severely depleted at the most crucial point of the season.
With seven rounds remaining in the Premier League, Arsenal still hold a nine-point lead over Manchester City. However, with a severely depleted squad, Mikel Arteta is forced to do everything he can to protect his lead against the increasing pressure from behind.
Furthermore, Arsenal also have ambitions on two other fronts: the FA Cup and the Champions League. A thin squad competing on multiple fronts is causing concern among Arsenal fans.
