Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio is at risk of surgery due to a recurring shin injury. Asencio had only recently recovered from a quadriceps injury when the shin issue resurfaced, complicating his fitness ahead of the new season. Currently undergoing treatment at Valdebebas, he is attempting to avoid surgery, which would sideline him for six to eight weeks. Last season, Asencio struggled with this same injury while contributing to the team's defense despite ongoing pain. If treatment does not yield results, surgery will be necessary to address the condition.
