Injured for almost a month, Vinicius is expected to miss the derby against Atlético Madrid this Sunday.
Orphan of Karim Benzema and amputated of several frames, the real Madrid continues its perfect start to the season. It was in pain that the Merengues went for their first success in the Champions League against Union Berlin on Wednesday, thanks to a late goal from the inevitable Jude Bellinghamwho has already found the net 6 times this season.
Vinicius still absent
Carlo Ancelotti will need his English prodigy again on Sunday for the clash on the lawn of theAtletico Madrid. Its attack will in fact always be deprived of one of its major elements since Vinicius Junior should once again be absent from the Madrid group. Injured since the end of August after a leg injury contracted during the victory against Celta Vigo (1-0), the Brazilian international is not yet completely healed, if we are to believe the information of Sergio Quirantejournalist for DAZN.
🚨 Vini Jr will not play against Atlético de Madrid. The brazil has worked very hard to fit the plazos as far as possible.
But from Real Madrid it says “to correr antes hay que caminar”, es decir, 0 riesgos.@DAZN_ES

Real wants to take no risks for its attacker and does not want to aggravate his injury for the rest of the season. While the 23-year-old has worked hard to return sooner than expected, he still seems too tight to return to high-level competition. “To be able to run, you must first be able to walk”explained the Spanish club.
For their part, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are still recovering from their cruciate ligament injuries, while Arda Güler is expected to return. the end of September. For the Colchoneros, the list of absentees is also quite substantial since Thomas Lemar, Koke, Memphis Depay and Rodrigo De Paul were absent during the draw against Lazio Rome and should not be in the game on Sunday either.
