Four-month absence: Real Madrid officially announce their star has undergone surgery

The defender is expected to miss two to four months after conservative treatment failed, club reports said.

  • Real Madrid confirmed on Wednesday that Spanish defender Raúl Asencio will undergo surgery tomorrow to treat a stress fracture in his right shinbone, a fresh setback for the team's defense this season.
  • Valdebebas confirmed the decision to operate after Asencio was forced to cut training short due to recurring pain, an option under consideration since last season.
  • Spanish newspaper Marca reports that Asencio faces a long recovery following the procedure, estimating the defender will be sidelined for between two and four months.
  • This medical timeline rules Asencio out until roughly the start of next year, significantly complicating Real Madrid's defensive plans during the critical stretch ahead.
  • Asencio's absence represents a fresh blow to the Whites' defense this season, as the squad loses a key player during a crucial period of competition.
