Lucas Vázquez
was injured on Saturday in Valdebebas in an action against
Sergio Busquets
and Real Madrid's medical tests have confirmed that he suffers a posterior cruciate ligament sprain in his left knee.
This injury marks the end of the season for the Galician, fixed in the plans of
Zinedine Zidane
since last November.
The misfortune was primed with the squad after the aforementioned clash against the second captain of Barcelona, when both fought at grass level for a divided ball.
Immediately, Zidane had to replace his right back with
Álvaro Odriozola
.
The absence of Vázquez for the remainder of the year represents a setback at Real Madrid, where in the last three months he had established himself as the most reliable replacement for
Dani Carvajal
.
Although at the end of 2019 he already missed nine games due to a broken finger, this knee sprain is his most serious injury as a white player.
Valverde, doubt for Liverpool
An abrupt end for the brave footballer from A Coruña, who has yet to resolve his future at Madrid, given that his contract expires on June 30.
The other bad news for the 13-time European champion was that of
Fede Valverde
, who on Saturday also left the Valdebebas grass with a strong blow to the sole of his right foot.
In the absence of more evidence, the Uruguayan midfielder is doubtful for the quarter-final return of the Champions League, which takes place on Wednesday in Liverpool.
