Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio could return to action significantly earlier than expected after making strong progress in his recovery from a fractured tibia.
Asencio underwent surgery at the beginning of October and was initially expected to be sidelined for four months, meaning a return around the end of January or the start of February.
The 22-year-old has already resumed outdoor training and ball work. Those sessions had originally been scheduled to begin in December.
According to AS, Asencio is aiming to be included in Real Madrid’s squad for their Champions League away match against Arsenal on 9 December.
