Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readMartin Zubimendi suffered a broken nose during Arsenal's weekend win over Everton, and he'll need to wear a protective mask on Tuesday night.
From the source
Gary Jacob reports for The Times that Martin Zubimendi will wear a mask to protect his broken nose in Arsenal’s League Cup match against Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night, after suffering the injury late in Saturday’s Premier League win over Everton.
Zubimendi had only entered the weekend win as a late substitute, playing the final 10 minutes of the match, but that was enough for him to pick up a new injury in a challenge with Thierno Barry.
Jacob adds that Zubimendi is still expected to start the upcoming Fleetwood Town match, he’s just going to do so wearing protective headgear. Max Dowman, Kepa Arrizabalaga, and Viktor Gyokeres are also reportedly expected to start.
