Asencio to undergo surgery | OneFootball

The Real Madrid center-back will undergo surgery this Thursday to fix his tibial fracture

Real Madrid will be without Raúl Asencio for around three months. The Canary Islander has been dealing with a fracture in the tibia of his right leg since the start of the year and has finally decided to undergo surgery. The decision was made yesterday, when the defender met with the club’s medical staff to assess the plan for dealing with the injury, and surgery was chosen. The decision has been fully made.

"Our player Raúl Asencio will undergo surgery tomorrow due to a stress fracture in the tibia of his right leg," the Madrid club said in an official statement. Conservative treatment has not worked, and a new setback was the trigger for the decision to operate on the Canary Islands player.

For the Madrid center-back, who renewed his contract last June until August 2031 with a €1 billion release clause, it seems difficult for him to get any playing time before next year. So far, he had not made his debut under Mou following the controversy over his conviction for drunk driving. Now, his recovery will shape the coming months until he can once again fight for a spot in a defense packed with elite names such as Rüdiger, Konaté, Militao and Huijsen.
