Mourinho has toughened his stance with Raúl Asencio, a defender for Real Madrid, following the recent extracurricular episodes involving the player. The latest news from Real Madrid revolves around the inquiry opened by the club, a process that keeps any final decision on his continuity on hold.

The Portuguese coach addressed the situation directly on September 3rd. While he acknowledged the professional behavior of the defender at Valdebebas and his dedication during the recovery from his injury, he also made it clear that he is not pleased with the accumulation of issues arising outside the sports sphere.

Mourinho Awaits Real Madrid's Decision

Mourinho's position is currently influenced by the internal process initiated by the club. The coach stated that he considers Asencio as a member of the squad as long as the inquiry remains open, transferring part of the decision to the appropriate bodies at Real Madrid.

The latest known episode occurred after Asencio was convicted in an alcohol test. This issue added to the legal process related to the dissemination of a sexually explicit video in which the player was ultimately acquitted after the accusers forgave him and the prosecution dropped the charges against him.

For Mourinho, the matter goes beyond what happens in training sessions. The coach publicly reiterated that every squad member also represents the club outside the facilities and directly linked such behavior with the institution's image.

His discourse marks a change from the scenario immediately following the transfer window closure. On September 1st, Asencio had chosen to stay in Madrid despite the possibility of a departure, and the coaching staff faced the season with a squad of 26 players.

Raúl Asencio Also Faces a Sporting Issue

The situation of Raúl Asencio cannot be separated from the sporting competition. The defender is injured, and Mourinho confirmed this week that he will remain out of the team for at least a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, the coach has Dean Huijsen, Ibrahima Konaté, and other alternatives to shape the center of defense. In the last league match against Betis, the starting duo was precisely Huijsen and Konaté, while Asencio was among the team's absences.

Physical recovery will be the initial step before determining his sporting role. Before his injury, Mourinho had internally praised his daily work and publicly stated that few players trained with higher intensity when he was available.

The scenario has shifted due to subsequent events. Mourinho has expressed his discontent, but the outcome of the inquiry will be crucial in deciding if this tension will lead to sporting or market consequences.

The next move lies with Real Madrid. Once the internal procedure is resolved and Asencio completes his recovery, Mourinho will have to decide the role to allocate him within a squad of 26 players and whether his continuity still makes sense when the market reopens in January.
