Real Madrid have been dealt a significant injury blow ahead of their highly anticipated Champions League playoff match against Manchester City on Tuesday.

Lucas Vazquez has been ruled out of the encounter after suffering a hamstring injury.

The Spanish wing-back was forced to exit the pitch in the dying stages of Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, making way for Eduardo Camavinga.
