Real Madrid‘s injury nightmare just took another turn for the worse.
With their crucial Champions League clash against Manchester City looming large, the club confirmed that Lucas Vazquez has been sidelined due to a muscle injury in his left hamstring.
This latest setback will keep the veteran right-back out of action for up to three weeks, meaning he will miss both upcoming games against City, along with several other key fixtures this month.
With Dani Carvajal already out long-term, Coach Carlo Ancelotti finds himself once again scrambling for a temporary solution in the right-back position.
Federico Valverde could be an option, while Ferland Mendy or Fran Garcia might also be tasked with filling in.
The club will be hoping to have Vazquez back by March 2nd for the match against Real Betis, but for now, Ancelotti’s plans are in disarray.
