The Endless Struggle of Marco Asensio with Injuries
Marco Asensio appears to be trapped in an unending cycle of injuries that hinder his progress just as he begins to shine. In the recent Champions League match against Girona, the Spaniard was forced to leave the field just before halftime due to injury, right when he was starting to establish himself in PSG's starting lineup.
This episode brings back memories of his injury from a year ago, which kept him sidelined for 75 days and cost him the chance to solidify his role in Paris and participate in Euro 2024.
The start of this season had been promising for Asensio, who capitalized on opportunities after Gonçalo Ramos's injury, contributing goals and assists in recent matches. However, this latest injury once again puts his continuity in doubt at a crucial moment in his career.
PSG had relied on Asensio to help fill the void left by the departure of Mbappé. His ability to play in multiple positions made him a valuable asset, especially given his recent strong performances. Yet again, injuries have disrupted his momentum, forcing him to pause when he needed continuity the most.
