‘Miracle’ – Real Madrid star has shortened his injury recovery time by 6 weeks

An insight into the remarkable recovery from injury being enjoyed by Real Madrid star Raúl Asencio at present has come to the fore online.

This comes amid confirmation that the defender is some way ahead of schedule in his comeback efforts.

Stopper Asencio for his part underwent surgery at the beginning of October, to resolve a long-standing problem in the tibia in his right leg.

Initially, the Spaniard was pencilled in for an absence of close to four months, amid hopes of a return between late January and early February.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Asencio could yet be back plying his trade in Real Madrid white much, much sooner.

As per a report from Diario AS:

‘Asencio hopes to be training with the first team after the (international) break and even be called up for the Champions League match between Arsenal and Real Madrid on December 9th and for the La Liga match between Real Madrid and Osasuna.’
