Real Madrid center back Raúl Asencio did not make the trip to Girona due to illness, leaving Xabi Alonso undermanned in defense once again.
The 22-year-old, who is suffering from gastroenteritis, was ruled out for Los Blancos’ clash with Girona on Sunday evening. Asencio missed training in the buildup to the La Liga match and did not recover in time to make Alonso’s squad.
