Blow for Real Madrid: Vázquez and Rodrygo Out
Lucas Vázquez has sustained an injury to the long adductor muscle in his left leg, while Rodrygo has suffered an issue with his left leg’s rectus femoris muscle.
These injuries were identified following tests conducted by Real Madrid’s Medical Services earlier in the day.
The recovery timeline for both players is estimated at around a month, during which their progress will be closely monitored by the club’s medical team.
This setback leaves Real Madrid’s squad shorthanded as they prepare for a challenging schedule upon their return to domestic action.
The absence of Vázquez and Rodrygo adds to the growing list of injury concerns for Los Blancos, placing additional pressure on manager Carlo Ancelotti to adjust his strategies and find effective replacements.
The team will be looking to their depth and versatility as they aim to maintain their momentum in La Liga amid these fitness challenges.
