Doctor assessment on Lucas Vazquez injury
AS' resident medical expert, Dr. José Gonzalez, says Lucas Vázquez’s injury is not too serious and will not require surgery.
According to Dr. Gonzalez, the 28-year-old winger’s return date "will depend on the players’ pain tolerance". “
“There are players who can play without taking time off despite the fracture and there other players who end up out of training for a month and half,” he said.
This is the Spaniard’s second injury setback this season after he missed two games in October due to a calf issue.
