Raul Asencio - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Picks up illness Asencio is out for Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against Talavera due to an illness, according to his club.

Impact Asencio will hit the sidelines for a Cup match midweek, with the defender suffering from an illness. Luckily for the player, this is a minor injury, likely to return in their next match or two, potentially an option to face Sevilla on Saturday. The club is low on defensive options, so this is something to monitor, with Dean Huijsen and Antonio Rudiger likely to start Wednesday due to Asencio's absence.

Returns to team sheet Asencio (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Athletic Club.

Impact Asecio had made his way back to training this week, and that has led to his return Wednesday, with the defender and option from the bench. He has been a starter of late, but that will likely change after the return of some other defenders, set for more of a rotational role this campaign.

Named to squad list Asencio (hamstring) is on the squad list for Wednesday's match against Athletic Club.

Impact Asencio was back in team training this week, and that appears to be leading to his return, as the defender is on the squad list as the team travels to face Athletic. He is likely to be a bench option if fit and moving forward, especially after the return of Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger, and Dean Huijsen (undisclosed) not far off.

Returns to team training Asencio (hamstring and illness) was spotted back in team training on Monday, the club posted.

Impact Asencio was back in team training on Monday after overcoming a hamstring injury and an illness that made him miss Sunday's clash against Girona. The center-back is now expected to be available for Wednesday's game against Athletic Club, but his return won't impact the starting squad since he remains the fourth center-back in the hierarchy and with the return from injury of Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao, he should see limited playing time moving forward.

Out against Girona Asencio (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Girona.

Impact Asencio was a late call for Sunday and appears to have failed his testing heading into the contest, with the defender out to face Girona. A return will likely come soon after almost making the call Sunday, set to be a rotational option in the defense once fit.

Impact Asencio suffered a minor hamstring injury in the last game and hasn't been training on Saturday due to illness, making him a late fitness call for Sunday's clash against Girona. The center-back will be assessed after the final training session and will hope to be fit for the game since he is expected to start in the central defense since Eder Militao (groin) and Antonio Rudiger (quadriceps) might be too short to start the game in their return.

Impact Asencio started the last three games for Real Madrid across all competitions due mainly to numerous injuries in the backline and was forced off midway through the second half of Wednesday's victory against Olympiakos because of hamstring discomfort. That issue shouldn't make him miss Sunday's clash against Girona, but if he had to miss the match squad, Aurelien Tchouameni would likely start in central defense and Dani Ceballos would find a starting role in the midfield against the Catalans.

Impact Asensio has been dealing with some pain since he was on antibiotics to play Wednesday's game, according to coach Xabi Alonso. Asensio was substituted at halftime and will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue. That said, his potential absence against Pachuca on Sunday shouldn't impact the starting XI much since Antonio Rudiger is expected to return and Aurelien Tchouameni can play in central defense in the worst-case scenario.
