Marco Asensio will not be able to play with Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Club in Riyadh, due to a muscle injury suffered in the semi-final classic from which he has not recovered on time.

Carlo Ancelotti had hopes until the last training session of being able to count on Marco Asensio, who had settled in the starting eleven in recent games, but the Mallorcan could not prove himself as he had not improved his muscular problem.

Real Madrid has not issued a medical report, but club sources confirmed the loss of Asensio , who ended the semi-final match against Barcelona with problems and since then has been in the hands of physiotherapists with the goal of recovering for the final.

The loss of Asensio disrupts Carlo Ancelotti’s plans in the offensive trident. Everything indicates that the Brazilian Rodrygo Goes will be chosen to occupy the place, with more options than the Belgian Eden Hazard or the Uruguayan Fede Valverde if he wants to increase his presence in midfield with the author of the winning goal in extra time in the classic .
