Update on Vinicius Jr’s Injury: Real Madrid is facing a new setback as Vinicius Junior, one of their key offensive players, has sustained an injury.
- Vinicius Jr’s injury against Celta Vigo seems to be more serious.
- Vini is expected to miss up to four weeks of action.
- Vinicius’ injury has left Madrid with limited attacking options.
The Brazilian forward picked up the injury during the match against Celta de Vigo over the weekend, casting a shadow over his availability for the upcoming matches.
Initially thought to be a minor concern, Vinicius Junior’s injury has proven to be more serious than expected. Reports from the Spanish outlet AS indicate that the player may be dealing with a hamstring rupture, which could keep him sidelined for a significant period.
AS suggests that Vinicius Junior could be absent from the field for about 4 to 5 weeks. This unfortunate timeline means he is likely to miss crucial fixtures, including the match against Getafe and potential participation with the Brazilian national team during the break. His availability for the highly anticipated clash against Real Sociedad and the derby against Atlético on September 24 remains uncertain.
This injury comes as a blow to Real Madrid’s manager, Carlo Ancelotti, who now has limited options in the attacking department. With Vinicius Junior’s absence, the squad’s attacking depth is put to the test. Ancelotti may need to rely on Joselu as a replacement for the sidelined Brazilian.
