Martín Zubimendi

Analysis: Zubimendi kept a clean sheet Wednesday, his second across two legs versus Sporting. He made two clearances, intercepted one pass and won one tackle across his full 90 minutes of action. He was also effective on the attack as he put one shot on target -- Arsenal's only one in the second leg -- and created two chances in his full 90 minutes of action.

11 minutes from bench

Zubimendi appeared for 11 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton.

Analysis: Zubimendi returned to play Saturday after he was forced to drop out of the Spanish national team due to injury, only appearing for 11 minutes off the bench in the loss. The good news is he is fit again as they head into UCL play against Sporting on Tuesday, likely to start alongside Declan Rice (undisclosed ) and Martin Odegaard in the midfield.
