Luis Enrique has summoned Asensio to make up for the loss of Ansu Fati, who broke the meniscus in his left knee in the match between his team, Barça, and Betis. At the moment it is already the second change in the list of 25 players that the Asturian offered last Friday, and from which, in addition to Ansu, Jesús Navas, who was injured on Saturday playing with his team, Sevilla, has also fallen.
The coach has opted for Asensio although there were other players in the preliminary list who chose to enter, including Portu, the Real Sociedad scorer, and also Iker Muniaín, Athletic Club forward. But Luis Enrique has decided for the madridista.
The technician already has outlined the list of players with whom he will go to the European Championship next summer. They will leave the call for Friday, to which must be added the absences due to injury but which are fixed in the appointment for the continental tournament. In addition to the recent casualties of Ansu Fati and Jesús Navas, three other players who are not in this call are indisputable: Carvajal, Thiago and Rodrigo Moreno.
