Real Madrid defender Raúl Asensio has faced ongoing medical challenges during the 2026 preseason and early season. Initially, Asensio was sidelined for approximately six weeks after suffering a right rectus femoris muscle injury during a preseason friendly against Leganés.

Following this, the player has been managing a recurring leg injury involving a tibia fissure. This condition, which includes bone spurs and scar tissue, has persisted since the previous season. Asensio is currently undergoing conservative treatment at the Valdebebas training complex to avoid surgery. However, medical staff have indicated that if the treatment fails to prevent the fissure from becoming a full fracture, surgery may be necessary, potentially resulting in a six-to-eight-week absence.
