'El Clasico' has come at a cost for Real Madrid, who have got a series of very demanding matches and the latest victim of this packed schedule is Lucas Vazquez. He will not play again this season.
Real Madrid have announced the following: "After tests carried out on our player Lucas Vazquez by Real Madrid's medical services, he has been diagnosed with a cruciate ligament sprain in his left knee."
Lucas Vazquez's improvement has been one of the keys to Real Madrid's ascent in the table. The right back's return depends on his recovery, but as we are near the end of the season, everything seems to indicate that he will not be back this term.
