The happy afternoon of this Saturday at Di Stéfano, where Real Madrid beat Huesca (4-1) with Hazard leading the way with a spectacular goal, he left a concern that except for surprise will be scared. Lucas Vázquez (29 years old) retired due to a muscular overload, but there is confidence that he can be measured with Inter on Tuesday (9:00 p.m., Movistar Champions League).
The Galician had been the negative note of the triumph, having forced to request the change in 51 ', due to the great performance he had been offering and because of Madrid's difficult situation with the full-backs on the right. The '17' had stood out there since his entry by an injured Nacho in the Camp Nou, a particularly difficult setting to go out cold and respond as you did. The good feelings continued later against Monchengladbach and Huesca.
Zidane, without Carvajal, Odriozola or Nacho
To think about a possible loss of Lucas was to think about how it would complicate Zidane's plans because of how quickly he had been coupled to this reconversion, key to continue in white in 2020-21 (contract ends in 2021 and the club has not moved token for renew you). And, in addition, because of how injuries are taking place with the madridistas on that side. Carvajal suffered a mishap in the knee in training on October 2 and will be out until December, approximately; and on October 3 it was also known the loss of Odriozola due to a blow to the calf after which he was expected to return from the national team break and from which the Basque is taking a slow evolution.
To add insult to injury, without the two titular theorists Zidane tested Nacho until he was injured in the El Clásico last Saturday. Also to Mendy, without turning out well in the defeat against Shakhtar (2-3), despite what this Saturday was the relief of Lucas. The Militao alternative did not generate much hope either, with the failed precedent against Betis (2-1 at Villamarín) in 2019-20. Lucas, unless the setback surprises him in the next few hours, seeks to become strong in the band.
