Injury problems continue to plague Real Madrid after it was revealed that Lucas Vasquez has suffered a hamstring injury. And is expected to be out for around three weeks.
Vasquez was one of the players to be assessed ahead of Saturday’s clash with Atletico Madrid and did
feature. However, Vasquez was substituted late on in the game. And Los Blancos confirmed the player has suffered a hamstring injury in his left leg.
According to Spanish outlet สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน, the injury will keep the 33-year-old out for around three weeks.
That means Vasquez will now miss both legs of the Champions League play-offs against Manchester City, as well as games against Osasuna and Girona.
This is yet another injury for Los Blancos’ defensive line. Which will be without Militao, Alaba, Rudiger, Carvajal and now Vazquez as well.
Fede Valverde will be expected to start on the right flank of the defensive line, with Camavinga and Ceballos likely deployed in the midfield.
Real Madrid will have to survive that first leg in order to make sure they can advance to the next round.
Carlo Ancelotti is expected to turn to Federico Valverde at right-back once again as a stopgap. Other options include Ferland Mendy or Fran Garcia on the right flank, with
Madrid hoping to have Vasquez back in contention for the trip to Real Betis on March 2.
