Asensio skips training ahead of Alanyaspor clash
Injured Marco Asensio did not take part in Fenerbahçe's training session ahead of the Alanyaspor match.
Concern is growing at Fenerbahçe over Marco Asensio's fitness. The Spanish star, who missed the Champions League away match at Aston Villa through injury, was also absent from training ahead of the Super Lig's 8th-round fixture against Corendon Alanyaspor.
Asensio's injury had already become a talking point during the Villa Park clash, which Fenerbahçe lost heavily 6-0. The yellow-and-navy blue side struggled to get out of their own half in the opening 15 minutes and conceded several goals following individual errors.
His absence from that match exposed a clear gap in Fenerbahçe's midfield and attack. Now that the same player has also missed training ahead of the Alanyaspor fixture, the coaching staff may need to rethink their plans for the upcoming game.
A Spor reporter Erdem Akbaş shared the latest updates on the Spanish international's condition. According to reports, Asensio's injury issue is ongoing, and it remains unclear whether he will be fit in time for the Alanyaspor match.
Fenerbahçe are hoping to resolve the squad's fitness problems as quickly as possible in order to improve their form both domestically and in Europe. More clarity on Asensio's situation is expected in the coming days.
