Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a heartfelt message to Asensio who picked up a serious injury in Madrid’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
The 23-year-old is ruled out for nine months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament. He will miss the upcoming season and all international matches with Spain.
Hurt by the news, Ronaldo decided to send him a message telling him to ‘stay strong and recover quickly’.
With Asensio out, Madrid will have to rely on their incredible attacking force to rival the best in Europe and compete with Barcelona for the La Liga and Copa Del Rey trophy.
