Asensio explains his injury process: Decision made to have surgery

Marco Asensio, who plays for Fenerbahçe, is expected to be out for about 3 months. In a statement on his social media account, the player spoke for the first time about his injury process.

Asensio said that the injury he suffered at the end of last season was serious enough to keep him from playing for the rest of the season. Saying he believed he could help his team on the pitch, given the importance of the championship goal, the player stated that he did everything he could to return earlier than expected, even though he knew it could carry some risks for his health.

Asensio explained that over the last 3 weeks the pain made it impossible for him to compete, and that they therefore decided it was time to have surgery. Describing himself as someone who never gives up and keeps fighting to the end, the footballer also noted that he went through difficult and frustrating moments.

Emphasizing that his motivation is high, Asensio said he is focused on the process ahead. Saying that his goal is to step onto the pitch again with his teammates in front of the fans, the player thanked everyone for the support shown.
