Real Madrid are making a significant comeback from injury, ahead of the derby against Atlético this Sunday.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says Vinicius Jr is fit for Sunday’s derby against Atletico Madrid.
Real recovers Vinicius Jr
The Italian coach spoke at a press conference and assured that the Brazilian winger was in great shape and ready to regain his place in the Merengue eleven. “Vinicius trained with the team yesterday. He shows good physical condition. Today he trained very well and will be in the team. Tomorrow we will decide what role he can play.
Vinicius Jr was hit in the biceps femoris of his right thigh at the end of August. It appears to have returned sooner than forecasts suggested. Ancelotti is reassuring, however, and affirms that the risk of relapse is minimal: “The risk is zero. If tomorrow we think there is a 1% risk, we are not going to risk it. The important thing is that Vinicius has recovered. It’s a little lacking in condition, but that’s normal. These are things that we will evaluate tomorrow. »
Regarding the others unavailable, “Carletto” said: “(Dani) Carvajal will not be there and the others, except Arda Gler, are fine. (Ferland) Mendy and (Dani) Ceballos are fully recovered.”
