Marco Asensio has emerged as a doubt for Real Madrid's La Liga clash with Alaves on Saturday afternoon after the Spaniard missed the club's final training session ahead of the match.

Asensio has played the full 90 minutes in each of Madrid's last two league games - impressing against both Real Betis and Leganes.

The 22-year-old was believed to be in line to start the Alaves fixture at the Bernabeu, but according to Marca, the attacker missed Friday's training session due to toothache having had his wisdom tooth removed.

As a result, the Spain international is said to be a doubt for the Spanish champions, who will be looking to move within four points of second-placed Atletico Madrid in the table.

Cristiano Ronaldo was rested for Real's 3-1 win over Leganes on Wednesday afternoon, but the Portugal international is back in the squad this weekend.
