Raul Asencio
23-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 9/13/2026
Sidelined roughly six weeks
Asencio suffered a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his right leg and is expected to be sidelined for approximately six weeks, according to Arancha Rodriguez of COPE.
ANALYSIS
Asencio made 23 LaLiga appearances last season, contributing two goals, but has fallen down the pecking order heading into the new 2026/27 season following the arrival of Ibrahima Konate and is widely expected to leave Real Madrid this summer regardless of the injury, with reported interest from clubs including Marseille. This latest setback further complicates his path forward, and his next club destination will be one to track as the transfer window continues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Liverpool could move for him
Liverpool are considering a move for Asencio, according to TEAMtalk.
ANALYSIS
The defender's representatives approached Real Madrid regarding a potential transfer. Although Los Blancos are open to letting the 23-year-old leave after Jose Mourinho informed him he is not part of his plans, the Spanish international currently prefers to remain at the Bernabeu and fight for his place. As for the Reds, they could use the signing to bolster their center-back depth ahead of the new campaign. Asencio's availability has created an intriguing opportunity, but unless the defender changes his stance on leaving Madrid, a deal appears unlikely despite interest from Anfield.
