But where has Marco Asensio gone? This is a question that many supporters of PSG, but also of the Spanish selection, ask themselves. And for good reason, the attacking midfielder suffered a contusion on his foot during a selection match, against Georgia on August 8. An injury of lesser importance a priori, but which kept him away from the field for almost two months. Much longer than everyone expected, in fact. And it’s a situation that is causing a lot of talk in Spain.
Daily life A.S. evokes a “funny soap opera” with the former Merengue, with this recovery much longer than expected. “The deadlines given, at least the officials, do not correspond to those of the player’s recovery”, adds the media which, without falling into conspiracy theories or going so far as to say that PSG is hiding things, does not really understand where Asensio has gone. It must be said that the player trained in Mallorca is supposed to be a relatively important player for Luis de la Fuente. Sport is also worried, evoking “a recovery time that is longer than expected”.
Ancelotti regrets
If his disappearance raises fears and questions, we can also add that many people miss him. As explained Defensa Central, “Carlo Ancelotti misses Marco Asensio”, who is not really convinced by the one who replaces him, Brahim Diaz. Information confirmed by Relevo. The newspaper explains that Carlo Ancelotti was a very fan of Asensio and that he already felt that Brahim Diaz was not going to do the job to replace the neo-Parisian.
The Italian tactician would have liked to be able to count on Asensio this season, and his departure was a big blow for him. He has lost creativity and a player capable of guaranteeing some goals in the last meters, and his offensive sector is considered very light by the Madrid press. There is no doubt that Luis Enrique would also like to be able to rely on his player as quickly as possible. If he will not be there against AC Milan this evening, he could sign his return to Ligue 1 against Brest this Sunday, or at the end of next week against Montpellier. To be continued…
