On Wednesday, it was revealed that Martin Zubimendi's season is over. Real Sociedade have been without their pivot for the last two games, and now he is not expected to participate in the next three games.
Speaking to the media (via Relief), Real coach Imanol Alguacil confirmed that Zubimendi suffered a setback in his injury recovery.
“The bad news is motivated by the fact that Zubimendi had a small relapse, and so I told you last week that I thought he could arrive for Thursday, having that small relapse he will not arrive for tomorrow, nor for Sunday. and I don't think he is suitable for Atletico Madrid.
This is a big blow for La Real in their quest for a top six finish in La Liga, and it is also worrying for Spain. Zubimendi is expected to be in Luis de la Fuente's squad for Euro 2024, but now, that looks less assured.
The situation of Zubimendi will be monitored during the coming weeks, and all the associated things Spain and Real society hope he can recover quickly.
