It was claimed that Fenerbahçe's Spanish footballer Marco Asensio trained with the team for the entire last training session in Istanbul and went to England, but that the Spanish player was not included in the squad on match day under the pretext of injury. According to the claims, Asensio did not want to play in the match the moment he learned that he would not be in the starting 11.
A claim that dropped like a bombshell on the agenda regarding Spanish star Marco Asensio at Fenerbahçe has been put forward. It was alleged that a very different crisis lies behind the Spanish player's removal from the squad on the grounds of injury.
NO PROBLEM IN TRAINING, HE WENT TO ENGLAND
Asensio trained without any problems with the team throughout Fenerbahçe's last training session in Istanbul. The experienced footballer, who did not show any health problems, also took part in the trip to England with the match squad.
WHEN HE LEARNED HE WOULD BE A SUBSTITUTE, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE
It was claimed that the crisis broke out hours before the match. It was stated that Asensio, who learned that he would not be in the starting 11 in the squad determined by the technical staff and would start on the bench, reacted strongly to this decision. According to the claims, the moment the Spanish star realized he would remain a substitute, he used his injury as an excuse, stated that he did not want to play in the match, and was not included in the match squad.
SEASON PERFORMANCE
Asensio, who appeared in 8 matches in all competitions this season, recorded 2 goals and 1 assist in these matches.
