Lucas’s Vazquez has been ruled out with a thigh injury ahead of the Champions league meeting with Manchester City.
Vazquez’s injury adds to an already depleted defense, with key players like David Alaba and Ferland Mendy also sidelined due to injuries.
“He will not be included in the squad for the match in Manchester,” said Madrid in a statement on Sunday, with Spanish media reporting he will miss three weeks.
With many important players unavailable for the Manchester match, Madrid’s defense team are severely limited as they prepare for the Championship.
