Asencio Injury Sidetracks Real Madrid Transfer Plans
30 Jul
Summary
- Raul Asencio suffered a hamstring injury in training.
- He is expected to be sidelined for six weeks.
- Asencio's injury likely keeps him at Real Madrid until January.
Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio will remain at the Bernabeu until at least January due to a hamstring injury sustained in training. The 23-year-old had been informed by coach Jose Mourinho that he was not part of the plans for the 2026-27 season, signaling an expected exit.
Asencio's injury, diagnosed as a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his right leg, is expected to keep him out for about six weeks. This timeframe means he will not be fit to join another club before the summer transfer window closes in late August or early September.
The club has not provided an official return date, but reports suggest he will be sidelined until September. This unexpected development could, however, create an opportunity for Real Madrid to pursue a new central defender, a position they were looking to strengthen.
