Officially.. Real Madrid announces Asensio undergoing surgery

Real Madrid have officially announced today, Wednesday, in a formal statement, that young defender Raúl Asencio will undergo surgery after suffering an injury to his right shin bone.

Real Madrid have announced in a medical statement: "Our player Raúl Asencio will undergo surgery tomorrow due to a stress fracture in his right leg."

Real Madrid have not disclosed the expected duration of Raúl Asencio's absence from the pitch, merely stating that he will undergo surgery in the coming hours, with the recovery period to be determined based on the progress of his condition after the operation.

According to reports, the young Spanish defender is expected to be sidelined for between two to three months, which is a blow for the team as manager José Mourinho needs all his defensive options in the upcoming period.

Asensio has been struggling with an issue in his right shin for several months, specifically a small stress fracture that has caused him recurring pain. This has led both the player and the club to decide on surgical intervention to resolve the problem definitively and focus on his return in the best possible condition.
