In recent months, Vinicius Junior has unfortunately been at the heart of some particularly high-profile cases. There were especially these episodes of racism in the stadiums, where he was the victim and of course had nothing to reproach himself for. His absence from the list of nominees for the FIFA The Best trophies also caused a lot of talk on the other side of the Pyrenees. And now in Spain, on this Madrid derby Sunday, there is a new Vinicius affair. Even if, once again, the Brazilian has nothing to do with it.
And for good reason, as Carlo Ancelotti confirmed at a press conference this weekend, the Auriverde international will be back for this Madrid derby after a hamstring injury which has kept him away from the field since the end of the August. However, it is very likely that the Canarinha player will start this fratricidal duel on the bench.
Brazil is still calling!
On the other hand, there is something going wrong in Madrid: his upcoming departure for the selection, in a little over a week, for the qualifying matches against Venezuela and Uruguay. Vinicius Junior, just recovered from his injury, was called up by Diniz, and will therefore not have the rest that the Madrilenians wanted to grant him during the next break. “Brazil does not forgive anything with Vinicius. The Real Madrid player is called up despite his recent injury. The CBF was inflexible”explains the media A.S..
There is some friction on the line between Brazil and Real Madrid therefore, especially since the Madrid press tells us that the return of Vinicius Junior is a little precipitated by the importance of this derby, and that if he If it was a slightly less important meeting, Vinicius would have returned later. We are therefore clearly far from a 100% player, and this grueling trip to come during the next break risks weakening him even more… Especially since Real Madrid are rather short in attack and cannot afford another injury. its star. A case which reminds us of that linked to Neymar a few weeks ago, when Brazil also called up the former PSG despite an injury at club.
