Vinicius is expected to miss up to a month of action after suffering a biceps femoris injury in his left leg during a match against Leganes on November 24. The winger has now missed three Real Madrid games – a win against Getafe and defeats to Liverpool and Athletic Club.
However, Vinicius has already returned to training and it has been rumored that the Brazilian could return for the upcoming clash against Girona. Ancelotti confirmed Vinicius was ready to return but not this weekend. Meanwhile, defender David Alaba will have to wait until early next year before returning to action.
Vini will be back soon
Speaking to the media, Ancelotti said: “Seeing Vinicius is good news, he has recovered very well. He won’t be ready for tomorrow, but he will be ready for the Champions League. Alaba helped us a lot in training, but he needs another month. He will be back in January. The deadline for him is next year. »
Real Madrid next face Girona on Sunday, December 8, and Vinicius will likely return to action in their next clash against Atalanta on Tuesday, December 10.
