Zubimendi exists to spell Rodri without Spain noticing the change — the system stays identical because his receiving angles and tempo are nearly indistinguishable. In a group-stage blowout, expect him to take the final half hour.

Strengths

positional discipline in front of the back four
two-footed short passing
calm under counter-press

Recent form

Steady through 2025-26 for La Real — minutes managed with the World Cup in mind. [unverified] Club status: reports differ on whether a delayed 2025 Arsenal transfer materialised.
