Raul Asencio returns to the Real Madrid squad to face Rayo Vallecano
Summary

Real Madrid coaching staff unveiled the team selection on Friday ahead of Saturday's LaLiga match against Rayo Vallecano. The fixture takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu following the club's domestic defeat to Real Betis last weekend. The roster features the return of defender Raul Asencio. This marks his first inclusion in a matchday squad for the 2026/27 campaign after he sustained a knee injury during the pre-season period.
