Real Madrid suffer latest injury blow ahead of Man City Champions League clash Real Madrid have suffered another injury blow ahead of their Champions League play-off first leg against Manchester City on Tuesday.
‘Following tests carried out on Lucas Vazquez today by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in his left hamstring meaning he will not be in the squad to travel to Manchester,’ a statement from the club read.
The Portuguese centre half played the first half against Leyton Orient as City came from behind to avoid a shock defeat against the League One opposition.
Real ensured they remained top of La Liga with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against arch-rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Both sides met in the quarter-finals of last year’s Champions League, with Real progressing on penalties after an absorbing two-legged contest.
