Raúl Asencio injury and personal controversies

Overview

Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio underwent surgery to treat a stress fracture in his right tibia after experiencing persistent pain. The club initially estimated a recovery period of two to four months, potentially delaying his return until early 2027.

Following the surgery, Asencio addressed both the injury and recent off-field controversies, including an August conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol. In a recent interview with ‘AS’, the 23-year-old provided further details regarding the incident in Gran Canaria, where his blood alcohol level was measured at 0.90 mg/l. This resulted in a €14,400 fine and an eight-month driving ban.

Asencio expressed regret for his ‘imprudence’ and apologized to his family and fans, stating, ‘I made a mistake. I admitted it and I acknowledge it, I asked for forgiveness and I will continue to ask for it.’

While he previously expressed gratitude for the support of manager José Mourinho, his future role in the squad remains uncertain. Reports suggest Mourinho may no longer include him in immediate plans as Asencio struggles to regain form and faces intense competition from teammates such as Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militão.
