A first hard blow for Asensio at PSG? Hit in one foot during Spain-Georgia and returned to Paris since, the La Roja striker could be affected more severely than expected according to information from the Spanish press. An indiscretion released by AS who relays the words of coach Luis de La Fuente: “Asensio will not be able to play the next matches. »
However, Spain’s next meeting takes place in mid-October, with a first match against Scotland on the 12th. The new number 11 of the capital club could therefore miss almost a month of competition, starting with the first Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday September 19.
“Let’s see how this evolves”
AS nevertheless specifies that there is yet no confirmation or official medical report on Asensio’s injury. The former Real Madrid player has already passed examinations with La Roja, the results of which will be sent to PSG to assess the duration of his unavailability.
Huge victory yesterday. We continue on the good line as a team????????
I regret to have to inform you that after the medical tests carried out this morning I have to abandon the concentration. From today onwards I will work on recovering as soon as possible and coming back even better.
Good luck in… pic.twitter.com/afBUPrvYWP

The assumptions of the Spanish press are therefore based solely on the rather vague indiscretion of the Spanish coach. After the meeting against the Georgians this Friday, Luis de la Fuente wanted to be reassuring: “Let’s see how it develops, it doesn’t seem to be serious. »
Despite his absence from the 11th and on the bench of La Roja this Tuesday evening, his national team won largely against Cyprus (6-0) thanks in particular to a double from Ferran Torres. Spain is still second in Group A, 6 points behind Scotland, the author of a flawless qualification for Euro 2024.
