Touched in a thigh against Celta Vigo on Friday evening, Vinicius should miss several weeks of competition.
Bad news for Real Madrid. Forced to give up his place in the 18th minute of the match won by Real Madrid on the lawn of Celta Vigo on Friday evening (0-1) after feeling pain in his right thigh, Vinicius should stay away from the field for several weeks.
“He won’t play the next game against Getafe but his injury doesn’t seem very serious, I took him out as a precaution”, however, indicated the coach of the Merengue, Carlo Ancelotti, in a post-match press conference. But according to information from the daily AS, the injury of the Brazilian winger would be more serious than expected.
A longer than expected absence
Vinicius Junior is suffering from a hamstring tear in his right leg, according to the Madrid media. The former Flamengo prodigy should thus remain on the flank for four to five weeks. Already absent against Getafe next weekend, “Vini” should not join the Auriverde selection during the international break in early September. He should also miss the reception of Real Sociedad (September 16) and should be doubtful for the Madrid derby against Atlético (September 24).
