Real Madrid are enduring a difficult season marked by an alarming number of injuries, largely caused by an overloaded match calendar. The situation has already raised internal concerns, particularly regarding one player whose physical condition is becoming increasingly worrying. Unfortunately, his problems may not be over yet due to the lack of alternatives in his position.

Journalist Jorge Picón spoke about the issue on El Desmarque, providing more insight into Raúl Asencio’s situation. “It’s being said that he’s playing with discomfort and a minor injury. I can confirm that it’s true. He has a small fracture in his tibia,” Picón explained. “It’s a complicated injury, not only because of the pain, which is significant, but also because it can lead to muscle problems as the player tries to compensate. People close to him and even figures within the club advised him to stop, but he chose to keep playing because he knows the team is very short of options in his position. With Militão and Rüdiger injured, he wanted to help the team.”

Real Madrid’s center-back situation is far from ideal. Dean Huijsen has suffered several muscle injuries this season despite never having had such problems before. Militão has suffered another setback, while Antonio Rüdiger continues to push himself to remain available. In this context, Raúl Asencio’s case is particularly concerning and requires close monitoring.
