Solid loan spell in England Asencio started in nine of his 13 appearances while scoring three goals on 24 shots and one assist on 16 chances created in the Premier League.

Impact Asencio saw a decent spell in the first half of the season with PSG notching six goal contributions in 12 appearances, and continued the success in the Premier League after he was loaned out, seeing four goal contributions in a much more testing league. That said, he would shape out a starting role for the final five games of the season, having mainly held a rotational role up until that point. The club has had interest in triggering the buy option on the attacker, but that is yet to be decided, currently slated to return to PSG at the end of June.

Productive in Friday's win Asensio had four shots (one on goal), 11 crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Friday's 2-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Asensio was not involved in either of his side's goals Friday, but he still had a productive match. He recorded a season-high 11 crosses, although none were accurate, and added two chances created, four corners and four shots on the attack. He also helped his side keep a clean sheet as he blocked one shot and won five duels in his full 90 minutes of action.

MAY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Disappointing day Asensio registered four shots (three on goal), eight crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Southampton.

Impact Asensio was perhaps the only Aston Villa player who did not have an enjoyable match against Southampton on Saturday. In 90 minutes played, the Spanish international took two penalties, and ended up missing them both. He also failed to complete any of his three dribbles and put just one of his eight crosses on target. Even if he does not start, Asensio will likely feature against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday in the UCL, so Villa will need him to brush off Saturday's game quickly.

Scores goal, assists in win Asensio scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory versus Brighton.

Impact Asensio did not start the match, however was able to score and assist in just 25 minutes to get Aston Villa the win Wednesday. Since joining the team, he's started twice in five appearances, scoring three goals with one assist for an average of about 1.1 goals scored per 90 minutes of play.

Brace in Champions League Asensio scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Club Brugge.

Impact Aston Villa's team comfortably advanced into the 2024-25 Champions League quarterfinal, primarily thanks to a substitute. Asensio did not log a start in either of Villa's two games against Club Brugge and recorded less than 90 minutes between both matchups. But among the team's six goals, Asensio scored half of them, proving to be a super sub. Villa's next UCL adversary is Paris Saint-Germain, which could be a problem for him and the English team, as they are together via loan from PSG. Should the Parisian side prevent Asensio's participation, the most immediate action he can hope for is in the Premier League.

Option Wednesday Asensio (undisclosed) is an option for Wednesday's match against Club Bruggegge, according to manger Unai Emery, per Jacob Tanswell of the Athletic. "Marco is in the squad."

Impact Asensio looks to be back from his muscle injuries after missing the club's last contest, with the attacker having been deemed an option ahead of game time. This is solid news for both parties involved, as he has started in three of his seven appearances since joining the club, notching five goals during that span. That said, he will hope to see the start, although he may be left on the bench to be cautious.

Impact Asensio was unavailable for Saturday's game against Brentford due to muscle pain but could recover in time for Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Brugge. His absence was precautionary to avoid any risk. Even if he misses the Brugge match, it would have little impact on the starting lineup since he has not been a regular starter since joining the club in the transfer window.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Injured for Saturday Asensio is out for Saturday's match against Brentford due to injury, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.

Impact Asensio looks to have possibly picked up an injury in Tuesday's UCL match, as he is not an option Tuesday. He has bagged five goals in five appearances since joining the club, so this is tough for the attacker, halting his momentum greatly. He will not turn to Wednesday and hope to be fit for their UCL contest.

Scores penalty Tuesday Asensio scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one corner in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Club Brugge.

Impact Asensio sealed his side's win Tuesday as he converted a penalty in the 88th minute to take the 3-1 lead. It came on one of the two shots he took in the match. Asensio has played great since joining Aston Villa on loan in the winter transfer window and has especially blossomed in the last week and a half. In his last four appearances in all competitions he has scored five goals, including braces in wins against Chelsea (Premier League) and Cardiff City (FA Cup) where he was the only member of his team to score. His recent form will likely earn him more playing time moving forward, especially with Aston Villa still playing in three competitons.

Highly active for limited debut Asensio had four shots (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.

Impact Asensio's statistical output was quite good for under half an hour. For now, excelling in limited time will be what he needs. Aston Villa's standard 4-2-3-1 formation has only one lock among its attacking midfielders, Morgan Rogers. That leaves team mainstay Leon Bailey, transfer signing Donyell Malen and lone addition Marcus Rashford to compete against Asensio for playing time.
