Makes 12 saves in loss Asenjo registered 12 saves and allowed six goals in Sunday's 6-0 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Asenjo had a game to forget during a busy and tough road loss. The goalkeeper logged his season-high with 12 saves, but also allowed six goals on the road. That was his fifth start in a row since recovering from a hand injury, but he has yet to keep a clean sheet over that span. He will look to bounce back versus Mallorca on Sunday.

Concedes three in loss Asenjo had three saves and allowed three goals in Friday's 3-1 loss against Athletic.

Impact Asenjo could not live up to his previous match performance with three goals allowed Friday. Since taking over the goalkeeping duties, he has failed to record one clean sheet with eight goals let in on 14 saves. He will continue to get tested in La Liga with a trip to Real Madrid on Apr 2, who have scored five goals in the last five games.

Logs nine saves against Elche Asenjo made nine saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Elche.

Impact Asenjo was one of the best men on the pitch, making a ton of nice saves and being on the verge of keeping a clean sheet. But then, deep into second half's stoppage time, came Tete Morente to ruin his plans with a one-timed shot off a partial clearance from the defense that the goalkeeper couldn't stop. Despite the late setback, Asenjo should be proud of his season-high nine saves. Up next for him is Friday's home clash against Athletic Bilbao.

Beaten once in win over Espanyol Asenjo made one save and conceded one goal during Sunday's 2-1 win over Espanyol.

Impact Asenjo made his second consecutive start after recovering from a broken hand and didn't see much action as his side had most of the chances here. The goalkeeper was saved by the post during the first half but other than that always looked on his way to a clean sheet. But then came Martin Braithwaite to ruin his plans with a goal in the 87th minute to give the opposition some hope. With just seven saves against 11 goals allowed over seven starts this season, Asenjo will try to bounce back during Saturday's visit to Elche.

MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows three in return Asenjo made one save and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to Celta Vigo.

Impact Asenjo made his return to the starting XI after missing the last 16 matches with a broken hand. It was not a game he would have liked to have, letting in three goals during Sunday's loss. It may take him time to adjust to playing fulltime to return to full form. Before his injury, the goalkeeper conceded seven goals on five saves with a clean sheet in five contests. He will welcome a visit from Espanyol next match on Mar 5, who have scored seven goals in the last five games.

On bench Saturday Asenjo (hand) made the bench for Saturday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Asenjo gets one more game on the bench after returning from a broken hand. Masip deserves at least one more start after saving multiple penalty attempts during a midweek win over Celta Vigo.

OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available for selection Asenjo (broken hand) is available for selection in Saturday's match against Real Sociedad.

Impact Asenjo figures to start over Masip after missing four games due to a broken hand. Though Masip saved one penalty officially but stopped two from Iago Aspas due to a replayed chance, Asenjo opened the season as the starter and should get the first crack at playing on his return.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Wednesday Asenjo (broken hand) won't be fit for Wednesday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Asenjo had returned to training a week ago but remains unavailable for competitive matches. In his place, Jordi Masip will continue in goal after conceding three goals in three games (one win, one draw, one loss).

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Espanyol Asenjo (broken hand) remains out for Sunday's match against Espanyol.

Impact Asenjo just returned to training in the week leading to this game but it wasn't enough time to guarantee his fitness. Instead, Masip sticks as the starter after shutting down Real Betis in his last match.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Asenjo returned to training during Monday's session.

Impact Asenjo is back after missing a couple of weeks with a minor fracture in his hand. Since he still has plenty of time to participate in training Asenjo should be able to take back a starting spot from Masip, who has conceded two goals in two games and most recently kept a clean sheet against Real Betis.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out two weeks Asenjo has been ruled out for two weeks after suffering a fracture in his right hand, his club announced Saturday.

Impact Asenjo may only miss a couple of games with a week of the international break left before the Oct. 1 trip to Getafe. Jordi Masip, who conceded four in his lone start against Barcelona, should be in net while Asenjo is out.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes one in loss Asenjo conceded one goal and made no saves during Friday's 1-0 loss to Cadiz.

Impact Asenjo has conceded three goals in his last two games (both losses) after shutting down Almeria two weeks ago. An inconsistent start to the season doesn't provide much promise for his fantasy value, though things could change if Asenjo gets more goalscoring support.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Beaten once in draw Asenjo allowed a goal while making a save during Friday's 1-1 draw with Sevilla.

Impact Asenjo looked on his way to a clean sheet win before conceding a goal in the 86th minute. The keeper has now allowed four goals in two league starts while his lone save upped his season total to two.

AUGUST 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes three in loss Asenjo made one save and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-0 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Asenjo returned to the club where he came up through the youth ranks and his first match was against the club where he played during the last nine seasons. Despite the emotional circumstances, the goalkeeper did well during the first half. But then the opposition came out firing during the second frame with three goals and his lack of saves to offset them hurt even more his fantasy output. The veteran will try to bounce back during Friday's visit to Sevilla.

Veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina signs for Villarreal

Villarreal says that veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina is returning to the Spanish league after agreeing to a one-year contract

Returns to Valladolid Asenjo joined Real Valladolid from Villarreal on Thursday. He's committed to a two-year contract with his new club.

Impact Asenjo returns to the club from which he made it through the academy and into professional competition after losing his starting job to Geronimo Rulli last season. Joining a recently promoted club, and one that hasn't invested much into new signings such as this one, Asenjo's value may not be spectacular. However, he comes with a strong record, keeping 47 clean sheets over his last four full seasons of league play as a starter. This should boost expectations, or at least help him in what is likely to be a busy season if he secures the top job himself.

JULY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

On bench in season finale Asenjo was an unused substitute in last weekend's victory against Barcelona.

Impact Asenjo made just eight appearances in all competitions this season, making 19 saves and conceding nine goals in six La Liga games as the 32-year-old firmly became Geronimo Rulli's backup in goal for Villarreal.

MAY 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes two in loss Asenjo made two saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 2-1 loss against Alaves.

Impact Asenjo had his sixth start of the season with Geronimo Rulli being rested. But it wasn't the most productive outing for the goalkeeper as he was beaten twice in just 30 minutes and his side couldn't bounce back during the rest of the way. With Rulli back for Tuesday's UCL second leg against Liverpool, Asenjo will once again serve as a backup.

MAY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gives up one goal in draw Asenjo had five saves and conceded one goal in the 1-1 draw against Athletic on Saturday.

Impact While Athletic made a strong offensive push, it was easy enough for Asenjo to stop. The keeper has had inconsistent playing time, and he most likely won't make an appearance in the next match against Bayern Munich.

APRIL 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Six saves during start Asenjo logged six saves across 90 minutes during a 1-0 loss Sunday at Cadiz.

Impact Across four appearances of the 2021-22 La Liga, Asenjo recently logged his best save tally. It compensated for a winless game result that he could not prevent from happening.

MARCH 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes one in win Asenjo conceded one goal and made three saves during Saturday's 4-1 win over Granada.

Impact Asenjo was given a rare chance to start as the bench-warmer but that's more to keep Geronimo Rulli fresh for Tuesday's UCL match against Juventus. Still Asenjo played decently and can be considered a useful option when he does play.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Substitute option Tuesday Asenjo (back) was named to the match-day squad against Manchester United on Tuesday.

Impact Asenjo has featured just twice this season and figures to continue serving as the No. 2 option behind Geronimo Rulli moving forward. As such, Asenjo will be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with back injury Asenjo (back) is dealing with a back injury and is uncertain for Tuesday's clash with Manchester United, according to AS.com.

Impact Asenjo is dealing with a lumbar issue, though as the second string keeper he is unlikely to be a big part of the team either way. Asenjo will likely be on the bench unless the injury is worrying enough that he can't even be an emergency option.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Holds on for draw Asenjo allowed three goals while making a save during Tuesday's 3-3 draw with Cadiz.

Impact Asenjo allowed two goals in the first half and one in the second but somehow did enough to allow Villarreal come from behind to earn a point. The keeper has now allowed four goals in two league starts while his lone save upped his season total to three.
