Following İsmail Kartal's departure at Fenerbahçe, a striking claim was made regarding the squad restructuring. It was claimed that a parting of ways with Marco Asensio, who underwent surgery due to a knee injury and was announced to be away from the pitches for about 3 months, is planned during the winter break. It was stated that two clubs from his country have taken action for the Spanish star.
Fenerbahçe's Spanish star Marco Asensio underwent surgery after the injuries he suffered. Club doctor Ahmet Kulduk had previously announced in a statement that a cartilage lesion was detected behind the kneecap in the player's MRI results and that a decision had been made to perform surgery. Kulduk stated that the operation was planned in line with the player's own request as well.
HE WILL BE AWAY FROM THE PITCHES FOR 3 MONTHS
Fenerbahçe announced that Asensio had undergone a successful operation in Spain. In the statement made by the yellow-navy club, the following statements were included:
"Our player Marco Asensio underwent a successful arthroscopic operation in Spain under the supervision of our club doctor due to a cartilage lesion in his left knee joint. Our player's treatment and rehabilitation process is expected to last approximately 3 months."
CLAIM OF DECISION TO LEAVE FENERBAHÇE
After İsmail Kartal left his position, a striking claim was made regarding Marco Asensio's future at Fenerbahçe. According to a report by Sabah newspaper, the yellow-navy management plans to part ways with the Spanish player during the mid-season break, as he could not be sent away from the team at the beginning of the season due to fan pressure. It was stated that with this decision, the management aims to open up space in the foreign player quota.
TWO OFFERS CAME FROM SPAIN
After the possibility of Marco Asensio's departure strengthened, it was claimed that two clubs from Spain stepped in. It was stated that Real Betis and Real Mallorca are interested in the 30-year-old player, while Fenerbahçe management aims to reach an agreement in January with the club that makes the highest offer.
INJURIES DID NOT LEAVE HIM ALONE
Marco Asensio, who transferred from Paris Saint-Germain to Fenerbahçe last season, could not play consistently due to the injuries he suffered. The Spanish player, who experienced knee, thigh and muscle problems as well as a cruciate ligament strain, has not been able to take part in 15 matches so far. Asensio, whose post-surgery rehabilitation process is expected to last approximately 3 months, is not expected to return to the pitch until the mid-season break.
