Real Madrid has announced in an official statement that Spanish defender Raul Asensio is suffering from a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his right leg, confirming that the player will undergo continuous medical monitoring to determine his return to the pitch.
According to Spanish media reports, Asensio will be absent from Real Madrid for around six weeks, which means he will miss the beginning of the new season, a setback for a player eager to prove himself in the upcoming period.
This injury comes at a highly sensitive time, particularly regarding the player's future at the Royal Club. Previous reports indicated that coach José Mourinho does not include Asensio in his plans for the new season, while Real Madrid's management hoped to sell him during the current summer transfer window.
The injury is expected to affect the player's transfer prospects this summer, as interested clubs may hesitate to enter negotiations before his full recovery, which could lead Real Madrid to postpone finalizing his future.
The medical team at Real Madrid will continue to monitor Marco Asensio's condition over the coming weeks, hoping for a quick return. Meanwhile, the situation regarding his potential departure or continuation with the team remains uncertain until his injury developments and his technical status within the club become clearer.
