Raúl Asencio is facing a serious setback, with the Real Madrid defender hospitalised again after a sharp decline in his health.
The 23-year-old has been struggling with gastroenteritis for several days, forcing him to miss the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. His condition has since worsened.
According to reports, Asencio has lost around six kilograms in the last two weeks and has spent most of his time dealing with severe symptoms, which led to another hospital visit.
The situation has raised concern inside the club, as doctors continue to monitor his recovery and aim to stabilise his condition before any return to training is considered.
This health issue comes during a difficult period on the pitch as well.
Asencio has recently struggled for playing time, with strong competition from Antonio Rüdiger, Dean Huijsen and Éder Militão. With David Alaba expected to leave in the summer, the defensive hierarchy is already shifting.
There have also been reports of tension with coach Álvaro Arbeloa, which may have influenced his recent role in the squad.
Looking ahead, further uncertainty surrounds the club. Real Madrid are expected to make a coaching change in the summer, which could reshape player roles across the team.
For now, the focus remains on Asensio’s health as he works through a difficult recovery period.
