Asensio denies reports of a serious knee-ligament issue

Marco Asensio posted a video to deny needing surgery and to clarify his injury isn’t as severe as reported.

Marco Asensio was forced to address fresh reports about his health after rumors in Turkey claimed he could be facing a serious problem with his knee ligaments. As Mundo Deportivo reports, the Fenerbahçe player missed the team’s last two matches with an injury, but the Mallorca-born winger says it’s not as severe as it was being portrayed.

Video denial

With the information spreading, Asensio felt he had to respond. He shared a video message on social media through his club, aiming to shut down the chatter and reassure the fans.

In the video, the winger states: "Estoy aquí para desmentir que me tengo operar... Desmiento totalmente lo que han comentado". He also adds that things are moving along “on the pitch” and that he will be back with the team soon.

“They want to destabilize us”

As Mundo Deportivo highlights, Asensio also suggests the situation could be an attempt to destabilize the club. He points out that they are just two days away from a major derby and that’s why he wanted to clarify that everything is fine and that his return is close.

Back soon

The message ends with confidence about the season, pointing to the team’s positive momentum, Champions League involvement and a strong start. Mundo Deportivo says Asensio’s goal is clear: to be back soon and help the squad push in the upcoming game, with the stadium behind them.
