The 23-year-old was taken to hospital for a checkup after being stretchered off the field during the pre-season clash in Maryland on Wednesday.
Asensio’s foot seemed to get caught in the turf as he tussled for possession with Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang around the 60-minute mark before he fell to the ground clutching his knee in agony.
Real Madrid hasn’t revealed how long Asensio will miss after suffering an injury so hard, but according to multiple sources, the Madrid star could out of the WHOLE season.
