Two shots in loss
Asp-Jensen recorded two shots (two on goal) in Wednesday's 1-0 loss against Sevilla.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen took a pair of shots during Wednesday's loss and put them both on goal, but couldn't quite earn the draw. It's still a good performance and he did well to create the chances for himself throughout the match. Asp-Jensen should continue to play a big role in the attack, though Depor's front is generally lackluster.
Available off bench
Asp-Jensen (illness) is available off the bench for Sunday's clash against Getafe.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen has recovered sufficiently from the viral illness that kept him out of two consecutive training sessions, though he won't return directly to the starting XI. The winger had already shifted into a substitute role before falling ill, so his place on the bench Sunday maintains that recent trend. He could provide an attacking option during the second half against Getafe.
Late call against Getafe
Asp-Jensen (illness) is a late call for Sunday's clash against Getafe, according to coach Antonio Hidalgo. "Jony has gone through a viral process, we'll see how he arrives today, the rest are in perfect condition."
Analysis: Asp-Jensen had been sidelined from the group for two consecutive training sessions while dealing with the illness, an issue that comes after already dropping to a substitute role in recent matches, including being left unused in the win over Villarreal. Marc Casado and Yeremay Hernandez could give the coaching staff additional options on the left wing if he is unable to feature.
Doubtful after not training fully
Asp-Jensen has been sidelined from the group for two consecutive training sessions Thursday while dealing with an unknown discomfort and could miss upcoming league games, Sergio Baltar of DXT Campeon reports.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen dropped to a substitute role in the last couple of matches and was even left as an unused substitute in the most recent win over Villarreal, and this issue worsens his chances of playing in upcoming action. With Riki Rodriguez not entirely impressing on the left wing in the latest contests, Marc Casado and Yeremay Hernandez could give the coaching staff additional options to fill in for now.
Starting in season opener
Asp-Jensen (undisclosed) is in the starting lineup for Monday's match against Elche.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen was a game-time call for this season opener since he hadn't joined full training, but the Danish playmaker will not only be available, but he'll also start. He'll play as the primary playmaker in a 5-3-2 tactical system, sitting slightly ahead of the central midfield pairing of Lorenzo Amatucci and Mario Soriano Carreno.
Uncertain for season opener
Asp-Jensen's availability for Monday's match against Elche remains uncertain, according to La Opinion de Coruna.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen has yet to rejoin group training, an absence that also kept him out of the club's Teresa Herrera Trophy match against Real Madrid, leaving real doubt about whether he'll be ready in time for the league opener. Even in the event he is cleared to feature, he isn't expected to be a regular starter given his standing in the squad. Asp-Jensen is expected to be reassessed as Deportivo finalizes its squad for Monday's match.
Not available Wednesday
Asp-Jensen (undisclosed) isn't in the squad for the Teresa Herrera Trophy against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
Analysis: The Danish forward won't be an option for this clash, but that's not a surprise since he's yet to rejoin group training. It remains to be seen whether he'll be ready to face Elche on Monday, Aug. 17, in the 2026/27 Liga opener. Even if he's ready, however, Asp-Jensen isn't expected to be a regular starter.
Training separately
Asp-Jensen worked with the rehabilitation coach away from the main group on Friday ahead of the upcoming friendly against Genoa, per the club's official website.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen has been working his way into Deportivo's plans after transferring from Bayern Munchen for the 2026/27 season, and any setback this late in preseason is inconvenient with the competitive season imminent. The absence of a specific injury label makes it difficult to assess severity, though training apart with the rehab coach rather than doing modified work with the squad suggests the club is being cautious. His availability for the opening La Liga match against Elche is the key question to follow over the next few days.
Joins Deportivo through 2031
Asp-Jensen signed with Deportivo through June 2031 after departing Bayern Munich, the club announced.
Analysis: Asp-Jensen made his Bundesliga debut with Bayern Munich on May 12, 2024, against Wolfsburg before spending last season on loan at Grasshopper, where he made 40 appearances with nine goals and six assists in Swiss top flight play. The attacking midfielder also featured for Bayern's reserve side across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons, tallying 36 appearances with seven goals and 13 assists, along with 10 UEFA Youth League appearances and three assists during that stretch. A Danish youth international at the U16, U17 and U18 levels, he arrives with both professional experience and considerable upside. Asp Jensen is expected to add depth and creativity to Deportivo's midfield as the club looks ahead to the coming seasons.
