Real Madrid will sweat on the physical form of Vinicius Junior and Lucas Vazquez for the rest of the domestic campaign before a summer dominated by the club World Cup, according to reports from Spain.
The duo both drinkd in the last stages of the 4-3 chaotic defeat of Madrid against Barcelona on Sunday afternoon and has since confirmed their injuries in the official declarations of the Spanish giants.
Vinicius was diagnosed with a “spraining with a left ankle” while Vazquez picked up “a pectin muscle injury in his left thigh”.
BRAND Quickly reported that Vinicius will be sidelined for the potentially decisive League match on Wednesday in Mallorca. If Madrid fails to win a victory on the island, Barcelona will be crowned with the Liga champions without even having to challenge the Catalan derby against the Espanyol on Thursday. The Spanish point of sale claims that there is a doubt as to whether Vinicius would be able to recover in time for the last match of the Madrid League at home at Real Sociedad on May 25.
If there are concerns about the physical form of Vinicius – and without any domestic titles to play – Madrid should let their Brazilian striker get back completely before delimiting the club World Cup in June. At that time, Xabi Alonso could very well have assumed the role of the head coach after the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti in Brazil.
There was a more optimistic calendar concerning the recovery of Vazquez provided by AS. Although the veteran back-to-back also sit on the mid-week trip to the Balearic Islands, it should be “90%” for the meeting of the next weekend league with Seville.
It remains to be seen how Vazquez will be involved at the club World Cup this summer. The five -time winner of the Champions League is 34 years old the same day that he should become a free agent on July 1. This date falls in the middle of the expanded tournament, although Madrid has the opportunity to accept a mini -extension with Vazquez – and any other player on an expiring contract – to cover the entire competition.
