Real Madrid Winger Lucas Vazquez Sidelined with Fractured Toe

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez is set to miss some time after he fractured a toe on his left foot.

Los Blancos published a statement on Thursday confirming Vazquez had suffered the injury during the international break, though there was no specific mention of how it happened or a return date.

The statement read: "Following the tests carried out today on our player Lucas Vazquez by the Real Madrid medical department, he has been diagnosed with a fracture to the distal phalanx in his left hallux. His recovery will continue to be assessed."

The Spanish Football Podcast cited a report from Marca, which suggested Vazquez injured himself training in the gym:

The 28-year-old has scored 22 goals and recorded 45 assists in 192 appearances for Real, but he's endured a stunted start to the current campaign.
