Sill dealing with calf problems
Vazquez will miss Saturday's home clash against Leipzig after further examination confirmed he remains unavailable due to persistent calf problems, according to BILD.
ANALYSIS
Vazquez suffered the calf injury during the DFB Pokal semifinal against Bayern Munich, where he was forced off in the 39th minute, and has been unable to shake the issue since. The right-back will miss a second Bundesliga fixture with the problem, and no return timeline has been provided beyond the immediate weekend. Arthur or Montrell Culbreath are expected to cover in his absence as the Werkself push through a critical final stretch of the season.

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.
