Real Madrid defender Raúl Asencio has begun a new phase of his treatment program after undergoing surgery to address the injury he suffered during the recent period, setting a clear goal for himself: returning to the pitch before the timeline indicated by initial projections.
The decision to proceed with surgery came after a prolonged period of attempts to treat and manage the injury; however, the definitive solution required an operation to ensure full recovery and return to competition in the best possible condition.
Some estimates suggested the player could be absent for a period extending up to several months, but Asencio is aiming to accelerate his recovery through adherence to an intensive rehabilitation program.
According to the Spanish newspaper "AS," the young defender hopes to regain his fitness by next December, aiming to join Real Madrid's start in the Copa del Rey, a goal that requires an optimal response to treatment and rehabilitation in the coming weeks.
Despite the difficulty of the task, Asencio enjoys support within the club during his recovery journey, given confidence in his abilities and his strong desire to reclaim his place in the team.
Asencio's injury comes at a sensitive time for Real Madrid, which has faced multiple defensive challenges recently due to absences and injuries affecting several members of the back line.
