Fenerbahçe: Ake out for 3 weeks, Asensio out for 3 months

Injury details for two key Fenerbahçe players have become clear. Nathan Ake, who had to leave the UEFA Champions League match against Slavia Prague, was diagnosed with a moderate strain and edema in the hamstring of his right leg.

The club announced that the Dutch center back will be out for about 3 weeks. The experienced defender is expected to return to the team after the international break in November.

The statement on Marco Asensio pointed to a longer absence. The Spanish player was reported to have undergone arthroscopic surgery in Spain because of a cartilage lesion in his left knee joint. The procedure was said to have gone well.

It was stated that Asensio will not be able to play for 3 months. While Ake's return date coincides with the international break, the Spanish player's recovery will take much longer. The yellow-navy side will plan its squad around this period without the two players.
