Marco Asensio trained on the outside pitches at Real Madrid's complex on Wednesday, with the Spaniard stepping up his recovery from a muscular problem.

The attacker has missed his side's last three matches with the muscular issue that he picked up during the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona on January 12.

However, Asensio was back on the training pitch on Wednesday, and according to Marca, he could be available for the Copa del Rey quarter-final clash with Athletic Bilbao on February 3.

The Spain international trained alongside Jesus Vallejo on the pitches at the club's complex, while Karim Benzema, Luka Modric, Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, Thibaut Courtois and Mariano Diaz allegedly worked inside the facilities.

Asensio has been an important player for Real Madrid during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring seven times and providing one assist in 23 appearances in all competitions.

The 26-year-old was linked with a move away from Bernabeu last summer but has recently worked his way back into the team under head coach Carlo Ancelotti. body check tags ::
