Real Madrid Win As Vinicius Jr., Kylian Mbappe Score; Jude Bellingham Injured

Forced off at halftime Asencio (shin) is still playing through pain but couldn't play the second half in Sunday's 2-1 win against Rayo Vallecano, coach Alvaro Arbeloa said in a press conference, accordin...

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.

Assists, receives red card in UCL Asencio provided an assist and was sent off with a second yellow card during the second half of Wednesday's UCL loss to Benfica.

Impact Asencio ended up with a mixed outing, as he put a ball into the box which led to Kylian Mbappe's 30th-minute opener before being sent off for a stoppage-time foul in the midweek clash. Consequently, the defender will be banned for the first leg of the upcoming knockout stage in February, reducing his team's center-back options to Dean Huijsen and David Alaba unless Antonio Rudiger (knee) and Eder Militao (hamstring) recover from their respective injuries.

Starts to face Villarreal Asencio (lower leg) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Villarreal.

Impact Asencio was already in the squad list for Saturday and is doing one better, with the defender not just an option but starting immediately. He has been more of a rotational option this season, but is likely to continue earning the start while Antonio Rudiger (knee) and Eder Militao (hamstring) are out.

Makes squad vs. Villarreal Asencio (lower leg) is in the squad for Saturday's game against Villarreal.

Impact Asencio was forced off at the break of Tuesday's 6-1 win over AS Monaco due to a shin problem, but it wasn't anything major, and the defender will be available for this contest once again. Asencio could start at center-back due to the absences of Antonio Rudiger (knee), Aurelien Tchouameni (suspension) and Eder Militao (hamstring).

Suffers blow to shin Asencio was forced off at the break in Tuesday's 6-1 victory against Monaco in the Champions League due to a blow to his shin, according to AS.

Impact Asencio has been dealing with a blow to his shin since last week and could not deliver more in Tuesday's win against Monaco, and he was therefore replaced at halftime as a precaution. The center-back will undergo further scans on Wednesday to determine the extent of the issue and hopes he will be available for Saturday's clash against Villarreal since Antonio Rudiger (knee) remains a doubt, Eder Militao (hamstring) is sidelined, and Aurelien Tchouameni (suspension) is not an option. If Asencio were to miss the game, Alvaro Carreras could feature again in central defense for the Merengues.

Scores again Saturday Asencio scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Levante.

Impact Asencio scored a header in the 65th minute Saturday off an Arda Guler assist, a goal which took the 2-0 lead and secured the win for Madrid. It marked his second goal of the season, both of which have come in the last two matches. He took a season-high three shots and added one chance created on the attack. He also kept his fourth clean sheet of the season as he and his fellow defender did not allow a single shot on target.

Scores in win over Betis Asencio scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 5-1 victory versus Betis.

Impact Asencio notched a rare contribution to the score sheet as he found himself unmarked in a set play and headed Rodrygo's cross into the net during the 56th minute of the match. After playing the previous game as a right-back, the defender returned to a central position, which should be his regular role for as long as he fills in for the injured Eder Militao (hamstring).
