Real Madrid have confirmed that defender Raúl Asencio will undergo surgery after suffering a stress fracture in his tibia.
The Spanish club announced the injury after medical examinations, with the procedure expected to keep the young defender out of action for an extended period.
Asencio has emerged as an important defensive option for Real Madrid, making his injury a setback for the club as the season progresses.
The 23-year-old will now begin the rehabilitation process following surgery, with his return not expected until 2027.
Real Madrid will closely monitor his recovery as Asencio works his way back to full fitness. The club is yet to provide a specific return date, meaning the length of his rehabilitation will depend on his progress following the operation.
The defender’s absence could require Real Madrid to manage their defensive resources carefully during the coming months, particularly with a demanding schedule across domestic and European competitions.
Asencio will now focus on his recovery, with the club and supporters hoping to see him return strongly once he has completed his rehabilitation.
