Bundesliga
Makes bench Saturday
Vazquez (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Stuttgart.
ANALYSIS
Vazquez passed his late fitness assessment after coach Kasper Hjulmand confirmed he would be evaluated following his return to collective sessions Thursday, recovering enough to earn a spot in the squad after missing two consecutive Bundesliga fixtures with the persistent calf problems sustained during the DFB Pokal semifinal against Bayern Munich. The club opted to manage his return carefully rather than throwing him straight back into the starting role, with Arthur and Montrell Culbreath expected to continue covering until he is back to full speed.

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.
