Real Madrid have started the year in a shaky form, with a defeat to Villarreal and then managed a penalty shootout victory over Valencia in the semi-final clash of the Supercopa de Espana.

Injuries have also plagued the squad, adding to Carlo Ancelotti’s headache.

David Alaba and Aurelien Thcouameni didn’t even travel to Riyadh due to injury concerns.

And now, following tests carried out on Lucas Vazquez, he has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle and will be out for a month.

According to AS, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy (muscle overload) are said to be “not at 100%” fitness. However, they will be available for the final clash.

The Super Cup final will be played on Sunday, January 15.
