Marco Asensio and Borja Mayoral will have holidays until August 1st after being champions of European U-19 with Spain last Sunday in Greece. Benitez has closely followed their steps. Although the initial plan of the coach was for Asensio to travel to the tour after the European to be able to see him in person, finally he has decided that the most advisable thing for the player was a rest.

The jet lag and the pressure of debuting with Madrid, at a moment when all the spotlights are on him, could be counterproductive for his preparation and evolution.

In addition, the winger has had different physical discomfort in recent weeks that have affected him in this final stretch of the season. Benitez's idea, therefore, is to continue his evolution in the first days of August to agree with him which is the most suitable club to go on loan. The goal is for him to have minutes in La Liga. Espanyol is one of the best placed, but there are seven other La Liga teams interested.

Mayoral, on the other hand, will have the reward of training for a few days with the first team, but Benitez and Zidane will have to agree on his role in both teams. He will be a key piece in Castilla...
