Marco Asensio and Fenerbahçe deny surgery rumors

Fenerbahçe player Marco Asensio and the club have denied reports claiming the Spanish footballer requires surgery for a knee injury. The rumors, circulated by journalists Serdar Ali Çelikler and Yusuf Kenan Çalık, suggested Asensio suffered from serious ligament issues that could lead to a cruciate ligament injury.

Asensio issued a direct statement to refute the claims, noting that while he does not typically respond to fake news, he felt compelled to address the situation regarding his health and the fans. He confirmed that he has begun field training and expects to rejoin the team shortly.

Fenerbahçe released a statement describing the allegations as “completely untrue and imaginary,” emphasizing that the club's official announcements should be the sole source of information regarding player health. The clarification comes ahead of an upcoming derby match against Beşiktaş.
