Lucas Vazquez has advanced ahead of Vinicius Junior in the pecking order Real Madrid Zidane appears to trust the Spaniard more

Marco Asensio's injury has opened up a space on the right-hand side of Real Madrid's attack, yet with Vinicius Junior having failed to really impress throughout pre-season, Lucas Vazquez has advanced ahead of the Brazilian in the pecking order.

Zinedine Zidane has had the task of assessing the players he hadn't previously coached this summer, yet the Brazilian hasn't performed at all in the matches in the United States and Germany.

Los Blancos have lost three of their five friendly matches, conceding a grand total of 16 goals, but the club's attacking players haven't been at their best either.

Over the course of those matches, Lucas has played a total of 244 minutes and is the ninth most used player by Zidane this summer, suggesting that he has ownership of the position on the right-hand side.

The situation surrounding Gareth Bale is still somewhat unclear, as well as James Rodriguez, but pre-season evidence suggests Lucas is a favoured option.

Vinicius' debut season in the Spanish capital was a roaring success, yet his injury came at precisely the wrong time.

He wasn't able to show Zidane just what he could do when he was confident and had a guaranteed space in the team, and he is now suffering as a result.

Toni Kroos has played the most minutes since the club embarked on their tour of the United States, with the German playing a grand total of 335 minutes.

The fact that Karim Benzema and Marcelo are the nearest two players to him with 290 minutes each shows that Zidane is certainly leaning further towards the players he has experience working with.
