Impact Asencio trained fully with the squad this week after shaking off a cervical muscle strain and is expected to be back in the mix for Friday's clash against Celta Vigo. That is a big boost for the Merengues, who are currently thin at the back due to injuries and suspensions, and Asencio could slide right back into the starting XI if he is cleared to go.

Impact Asencio appears to have shaken off his recent cervical muscle strain after returning to full training Wednesday, two days ahead of Friday's clash against Celta Vigo, putting him in a strong position to be available again. That would be excellent news for Real Madrid, who are currently thin at the back due to injuries and suspensions, and Asencio is likely to slide right back into a starting role against the Celeste.

Suffers cervical muscle strain Asencio suffered a cervical muscle strain and is ruled out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Asencio picked up a cervical muscle strain after colliding with Eduardo Camavinga in the second leg against Benfica in the Champions League and has been sidelined for the time being. There is no clear timetable for his return, and the club will not rush him back given how delicate and high-risk neck injuries can be if not handled properly. Until he is fully cleared and back at top speed, David Alaba, Alvaro Carreras or Aurelien Tchouameni are in line to slot into central defense alongside Antonio Rudiger.

Subbed due to minor scare Asencio (neck) was substituted in the 77th minute due to a blow to the face that was revealed to be only a minor scare, both the player and coach Alvaro Arbeloa commented, accordin...

Impact Asencio went down hard after a collision with Eduardo Camavinga and appeared to injure his neck in the process. That said, he reassured everyone on Instagram that he's doing fine and that the substitution was more precaution than panic. He should be available for Monday's derby against Getafe, though the club could still lean toward caution and give him a breather, which would open the door for David Alaba or Alvaro Carreras to slot into central defense with Dean Huijsen (thigh) and Eder Militao (hamstring) still out.

Forced off in UCL Asencio abandoned Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash with Benfica after taking an accidental blow to the face.

Impact Asencio was unable to continue playing after 77 minutes during his second consecutive start across all competitions. The defender is now at risk of missing upcoming matches, which would add to the absences of Dean Huijsen (thigh) and Eder Militao (hamstring), leaving Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba as the fittest center-back options.

Option again Asencio is available to play in upcoming games after overcoming a shin injury and serving his Champions League suspension.

Impact Asencio stayed on the bench during the last league contest versus Real Sociedad, but he should be ready to feature now that he's healthy and rested. Still, he's not guaranteed a starting spot with both Antonio Rudiger and Dean Huijsen in good form. Asencio tallied 28 clearances, nine tackles and four clean sheets over a string of 11 starts prior to his absence.

Back in team training Asencio (shin) is back in team training Friday but could be rested for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad, according to Sergio Rodriguez from Marca.

Impact Asencio has been battling an illness and a shin fatigue fracture that limited his workload earlier in the week, but the defender was back in the mix Friday. That said, with Antonio Rudiger back from injury, the Spaniard could be held out as a precaution to keep him fresh for the second leg of the playoffs against Benfica in the Champions League, according to reports, which is the Merengues' top priority.

Impact Asencio has been playing through pain in recent weeks due to an apparent shin fatigue fracture, which ultimately prevented him from continuing after the break in Sunday's win against Rayo Vallecano. The center back was replaced by Dani Ceballos, allowing Aurelien Tchouameni to drop deeper, as the options off the bench are thin at the back, with David Alaba not fully fit to play one half, Antonio Rudiger (knee) nearing a return, and Eder Militao (hamstring) still sidelined for at least another month.
