Raul Asencio suffers thigh injury in pre-season, out six weeks
Summary

Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio has been diagnosed with a thigh injury sustained during pre-season. The club's medical team confirmed the injury is located in the rectus femoris of his right leg. Journalist Arancha Rodriguez reports Asencio is expected to miss around six weeks of action due to this setback. The injury complicates Real Madrid's plans to potentially transfer the academy graduate before the summer transfer window closes, as he had aimed to impress new manager Jose Mourinho. This is the second injury for the club during pre-season, following the sidelining of midfielder Thiago Pitarch for a similar duration earlier this month.
