Real Madrid’s injury woes continue to mount. The club has confirmed that Lucas Vázquez and Vinícius Júnior are out with injuries. Lucas Vázquez has a strained left pectineus muscle, while Vinícius Júnior has a sprained left ankle.
The club hasn’t given a specific timeline for their return, but AS reports that they’re likely to miss the upcoming matches against Mallorca and Sevilla. Their participation in the match against Real Sociedad is also uncertain.
Vinícius Júnior’s injury isn’t severe, but it needs time to heal. Lucas Vázquez is in a similar situation. He’s not dealing with a serious injury, but recovery will take time and patience.
Lucas Vázquez’s situation is complicated by the fact that his contract with Real Madrid is expiring. According to AS, he’s unlikely to renew, which means this might be his last appearance in a Real Madrid jersey at the Bernabéu.
The injury news comes as Real Madrid struggles on the pitch. They recently lost 3-4 to Barcelona in El Clásico, all but handing the title to their Catalan rivals. With three matches to go, Barcelona leads the table with 82 points, seven more than Real Madrid.
