Raul Asencio to Miss Start of LaLiga Season Due to Injury
Raul Asencio, a 23-year-old centre-back for Real Madrid, is set to miss the start of the 2026/27 LaLiga season due to a muscle injury in the thigh of his right leg. Real Madrid announced the diagnosis in a statement on Thursday.
Spanish reports indicate that Asencio will be out of action for a period of four to six weeks. This injury will affect his availability for the team's opening matches, which include a fixture against Espanyol on 22 August, followed by games against Real Sociedad on 26 August and Malaga on 30 August.
The absence of Asencio could pose challenges for Real Madrid as they begin their campaign under the management of Jose Mourinho.
