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, ~~reports suggest~~ his future role in the squad ~~is uncertain~~ remains uncertain.
