Real Madrid Star Returns to Group Training After Injury

September 11, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Real Madrid has received a welcome boost in its squad as defender Raúl Asencio has returned to full group training with the first team. Asencio has yet to feature for Los Blancos in the 2026/27 campaign, partly due to his status as a backup option and an earlier injury setback.

The 23-year-old suffered a torn knee ligament during pre-season preparations at Valdebebas this summer. He has since been in recovery, with the aim of returning to competitive action this month. Recent images from Valdebebas on Thursday indicate that Asencio's recovery is progressing well and on schedule.

As shown in recent media reports, Asencio was spotted participating in group training sessions with José Mourinho's Real Madrid squad. This marks a significant milestone in his rehabilitation and a positive sign for the club as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
