34-Year-Old
Bayer Leverkusen
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Strain
Est. Return 11/5/2025
Not available against Bayern
Vazquez (strain) is still not available for Saturday's clash against Bayern, coach Kasper Hjulmand said in the press conference. "Lucas is not available for the team. He still needs some time."
ANALYSIS
Vazquez will miss a fourth game in a row due to his muscular injury since he still requires some time before returning. That said, the full-back is nearing a return as he has been improving daily since last week, suggesting he could be back in the match squad for Wednesday's clash against Benfica in the Champions League if everything goes as planned. Until then, Arthur is expected to start in his place.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cloudy future at Bernabeu
Vazquez's future at Real Madrid after the end of the current season is uncertain, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Vazquez is among several players who might leave Real Madrid in the summer, although it's worth mentioning that the potential coaching changes might also affect his future. Vazquez has been a steady presence on the right side of the defense for Real Madrid this season due to the ACL injury sustained by Dani Carvajal, but the likely arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold and the recovery of Carvajal could make Vazquez an odd man out in the squad. Plus, he's out of contract at the end of the season.
