Real Madrid’s Raúl Asencio Hospitalized With Severe Viral Gastroenteritis

Doctors are treating the defender with IV fluids following rapid weight loss.

Overview

  • Asencio was admitted to hospital for tests and treatment after his gastroenteritis worsened, according to club reports.
  • The club said he lost about six kilograms in a few days as vomiting persisted.
  • He missed the Champions League trip to Bayern Munich because of the infection and is unlikely to play against Alavés next week.
  • Real Madrid isolated him from teammates to prevent spread as local reports describe a strong viral circulation in the Community of Madrid.
  • Doctors plan to discharge him once symptoms ease, and his short-term role remains uncertain after an irregular season.
