😳 Asencio's dig, then he softens it: Why don't I play? Ask Arbeloa... | OneFootball

Raúl Asencio wanted to send a message to Álvaro Arbeloa in his latest comments.

We go back to March 6, when Real Madrid beat Celta 0-1, and it was Raúl Asencio’s last match as a starter.

Afterward, the centre-back was not happy at all about being benched against Manchester City, something that, according to 'MARCA', annoyed Álvaro Arbeloa.

He then cited calf muscle discomfort as the reason for missing a few matches, and his coach did not like that at all. He has kept him in the squad, but without playing him.

Well, while signing autographs this Thursday, he sent a message to Arbeloa: "Why am I not playing? You’ll have to ask Arbeloa that...".

Hours later, the player wanted to clarify his words with a post on 'X'.
