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.
