Records three interceptions
Zubimendi recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Chelsea.
Analysis: Zubimendi came off the bench in the second half of Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, registering one shot and three interceptions across his 23 minutes as Arsenal managed the closing stages of the match. 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.
Set for possible Shield return
Zubimendi is set for a possible return to action in Sunday's Community Shield, dependent on his response to training, according to coach Mikel Arteta. "They will be available; they trained with us today, they will train tomorrow, and if they are in the condition that we expect them to be, they will be involved"
Analysis: Zubimendi's potential involvement comes after he made 38 Premier League appearances last season, scoring five goals with an assist across 3,001 minutes, and won the World Cup with Spain, featuring 21 minutes in the final against Argentina. Zubimendi is expected to build up his workload ahead of the Community Shield.
