A new case breaks out at Real Madrid.
Raul Asencio has not been included in the squad for the match against Bayern Munich, a decision made by coach Alvaro Arbeloa, which brings the tense situation between the player and the club back into the spotlight.
The young Madrid defender is missing at a delicate moment of the season, with "Los Blancos" preparing for a decisive challenge in the Champions League, reports "Gazeta Express".
Although he was not expected to be a starter, his exclusion from the list has raised new questions about his status within the team.
Behind this absence lies a tense situation in the relationship between the player and the coach.
It all started after a clash with Arbeloa, when Asencio reacted to his lack of activation in an important match, creating tension in the locker room.
The situation worsened further when the player withdrew from a match at the last moment, disrupting the technical staff's plans and causing discontent among his teammates, which was considered a lack of discipline by the coach.
Despite later apologizing to the group and partially returning to the team, relations between the parties remain cold and his role in the team is no longer the same as before.
The absence against Bayern seems to be another clear signal that Asensio's future at Real Madrid is in doubt, in a period where competition in defense is high and the technical staff's confidence in him seems shaky. /Express newspaper
