Raul Asencio faces potential surgery for recurring leg injury

Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio is undergoing conservative treatment to avoid surgery for a recurring leg injury. The player has been struggling with a tibia fissure that has persisted since last season, involving bone spurs and scar tissue that failed to heal as expected.

Asencio has been attempting to manage the condition through specialized sessions at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex to reduce pressure on the affected area. While he has previously played through the pain to provide defensive depth for the team, the medical staff is now prioritizing healing to prevent the crack from developing into a full fracture. If the current course of treatment does not yield sufficient improvement, surgery may be required, which could result in an absence of six to eight weeks.
