Vazquez sustained the injury during his team's 1-1 home draw against Atletico Madrid on Saturday night, maintaining their one-point lead over their city rivals at the top of La Liga. "After undergoing medical tests, Lucas Vazquez has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in his left hamstring and will not be included in the squad traveling to Manchester. His recovery will be monitored," the club stated.
Zinedine Zidane rested some first-team regulars, but a side containing Lucas Vazquez, Marcelo, Isco and Casemiro should still have been far too strong for their rivals.
