Vazquez could miss Champions League final with knee injury

Lucas Vazquez suffered a sprained knee against Valencia at the weekend, Real Madrid has confirmed.

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez has suffered a sprained knee, possibly ruling him out of the Champions League final.

Vazquez was withdrawn after playing 75 minutes of Sunday's 3-2 win over Valencia as Madrid maintained its position one point behind league leader Barca.

A Madrid statement did not put a time frame on Vazquez's recovery but confirmed he "has been diagnosed with a medial collateral sprain in his left knee."

Madrid travels to Deportivo La Coruna on the final day needing a win while hoping Barca does not take all three points at Granada.
