Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Strain
Est. Return 12/6/2025
Still not training with team
Vazquez is still not training with the team because of back problems, according to Kicker.
ANALYSIS
Vazquez has missed the last six games for Leverkusen across all competitions due to back problems and still has not returned to team training. The former Real Madrid player does not have a clear timeline to return, and his recurring absence suggests he might not be back before December. That said, with Nathan Tella (knee) available again and if Arthur (back) can stay fit, his absence should not affect the starting squad too much.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Cloudy future at Bernabeu
Vazquez's future at Real Madrid after the end of the current season is uncertain, according to Diario AS.
ANALYSIS
Vazquez is among several players who might leave Real Madrid in the summer, although it's worth mentioning that the potential coaching changes might also affect his future. Vazquez has been a steady presence on the right side of the defense for Real Madrid this season due to the ACL injury sustained by Dani Carvajal, but the likely arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold and the recovery of Carvajal could make Vazquez an odd man out in the squad. Plus, he's out of contract at the end of the season.
