Message from Lucas Vázquez: “Touched … but never sunk”

Lucas Vázquez will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a sprain of the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a strong clash with Busquets during the Classic. The Galician left before the break with pain, after trying to continue in the game, and this Sunday the tests were carried out that showed that he will not be able to play this course again.

Lucas sent a message to the fans through his social networks after the bad news: “I have to help the team from the outside for a while. Touched … but never sunk. If this club has taught me something, it is to work and fight. forever. From now on giving everything to return as soon as possible and help the team in the final stage. Thank you very much everyone for your messages. A single objective: to continue fighting for LaLiga and the Champions League. Go Madrid”.

In his message, Lucas left the door open to be available again by the end of this course, but medical sources consulted by AS, as well as sources from Real Madrid, comment that this possibility is very remote; the injury is not serious and does not require surgery, but it is difficult to get off the month and a half, just the remainder of the season.

Several teammates sent messages of encouragement to Lucas through social networks, once Madrid made his injury official. The most striking was that of Ramos, with a photo of both celebrating a goal as if they were drinking from cups of tea and with the following message: “Courage brother. You will come back soon and we will have tea together …”. Ramos, like Lucas, ends his contract in June and does not yet have an agreement with Madrid to continue in white. Rodrygo and Kroos also sent messages of encouragement.

The brown now is for Zidane, who is left only with Odriozola as a right back, with Carvajal finalizing his recovery and without two centrals of the four of the squad, for now (Varane is expected to test negative soon after his positive for COVID and can return to training, although it is not clear that this will happen before Liverpool).
