- The club said tests showed a muscular injury to the left rectus anterior and labeled his recovery "pending evolution."
- He felt the problem early in the second half of the 3-0 win at Athletic Club in San Mamés and was replaced by Marco Asensio.
- Media in Spain project he will miss the rest of 2025 and a run of league and cup fixtures, with uncertainty over Supercopa involvement.
- His setback coincides with Dani Carvajal's absence, pushing alternatives such as Federico Valverde or Asensio at right-back.
- It is his second layoff of the season after a September–October spell out, leaving him on roughly 500 minutes for Madrid so far.
