Real Madrid have confirmed Wednesday’s reports suggesting that defender Raúl Asencio was going to require surgery to repair a fracture on his shin, confirming that the defender will go under the knife on Thursday.

Asencio will miss up to four months as he recovers from this surgery.
The Spanish defender experienced pain and discomfort during the second half of the 2025-26
season, but he played through it and that ultimately led to this outcome.
Real Madrid’s depth for the defensive line is almost gone just two months after the start of the campaign. Dean Huijsen will be suspended for the team’s next game following the red card he saw against Atlético de Madrid while Ibrahima Konaté is also injured, which means that Rüdiger is the only center-back available for Mourinho and the coaching staff.
