Journalist Sergio Kirante revealed the reason for the exclusion of Real Madrid defender Raul Asensio from the team's squad for the match against Elche this evening as part of the 28th round of the Spanish League.

According to the source, the young Spanish defender was absent from the list due to suffering from muscle pain in one of his legs. However, the club did not disclose the exact nature of his injury, its severity, or how long he would be out.

The report clarified that the decision to exclude Asensio was a precautionary measure by the coaching staff, aimed at preparing him optimally for the upcoming match against Manchester City next Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League, at the Etihad Stadium.

Real Madrid will be missing Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Alvaro Carreras, Rodrygo, Ceballos, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao, and Franco Mastantuno in this match.
