Asensio suffered his injury on the NFL's cursed pitch Real Madrid FedExField is among the worst surfaces

Real Madrid continued their preparations for the 2019/20 season on Tuesday evening with an International Champions Cup match against Arsenal at FedExField and, unfortunately, Marco Asensio would go onto suffer an injury on the pitch.

The playing surface at the home of the Washington Redskins is notoriously poor due to a combination of the climate and a lack of investment in the surface.

In 2015, Sports Illustrated ranked the stadium as the fifth worst playing surface in the entire NFL, despite it being the stadium with the highest capacity in the sport.

The Washington Redskins have suffered at the hands of their own surface, most notable in January of 2013 when rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III injured his ACL in a play-off game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Griffin was supposed to be the face of the franchise for years to come, yet injuries mounted up and his career has faded into obscurity.

Alex Smith arrived in Washington as the new quarterback for the Redskins in the 2018 off-season, and his debut campaign with the team was, on the whole, a success.

Yet, with the season winding down, he suffered a harrowing knee injury at FedEx Field.

It's also worth noting that, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, over the course of the last two NFL seasons the Redskins have amounted the most injuries.
