Rodrygo and Lucas Vazquez were substituted during the match against Osasuna due to injuries. Rodrygo experienced an issue with the rectus femoris in his left leg, while Lucas Vazquez had a concern with his left adductor.

Both players underwent medical examinations on Monday to assess the severity of their muscle injuries. The results were far from encouraging and provided a sense of alarm for Madrid fans.

Club reveals the extent of Rodrygo's and Lucas's absence 

On Monday morning at Real Madrid's training facility, Rodrygo Goes and Lucas Vázquez shared updates regarding their recent muscle injuries. Rodrygo is dealing with an issue in the rectus femoris, while Lucas has sustained an injury to the adductor longus. 

Both players faced challenges during a tough first half of the match against Osasuna, where unfortunately, Brazilian defender Éder Militao also incurred a major knee injury, which will require him to take the entire season off.

Rodrygo is set to be sidelined for five to six weeks due to an injury to the rectus femoris of his left leg, according to club sources. Meanwhile, Lucas Vázquez’s injury poses a significant challenge for Carlo Ancelotti, leaving him without a right-back for an entire month. With Dani Carvajal already ruled out for the season due to a serious knee injury, Vázquez’s muscle tear in the left adductor longus adds to the squad’s difficulties.

If recovery times go as expected, Real Madrid will face a critical Champions League match against leaders Liverpool on November 27 at Anfield without any available right-backs. This shortage will undoubtedly impact their upcoming La Liga matches against Leganés, Getafe, and potentially Athletic Club on December 4, especially if the matchday 19 fixture is moved forward.
