Real Madrid Star Marco Asensio Sidelined with Quad Injury

Real Madrid have confirmed Marco Asensio will be sidelined after he suffered a grade II muscle strain in his right quadricep during Wednesday's 3-1 win over Kashima Antlers in the 2018 FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals.

AS provided an update on Asensio and said it's unknown as to how long the player will be sidelined, although its own doctor's diagnosis was that the attacker could be out of action for "around four weeks."

If he were to be missing for a month, Asensio stands to miss six matches, including Saturday's FIFA Club World Cup final against Al Ain.
