Real Madrid's Raul Asencio undergoes surgery, camp frustrated with club management

Summary

Raul Asencio has undergone surgery for a stress fracture in his right tibia, after months of conservative treatment from Real Madrid. The 23-year-old defender's injury has troubled him since January. Frustrations have arisen from Asencio’s camp over delayed surgical intervention, which they believe should have occurred earlier. As a result of the operation, Asencio will face approximately four months on the sidelines, impacting his potential contributions during the season. His unavailability leaves Real Madrid's defensive options even thinner.
