The international break is turning into a nightmare for Real Madrid. After Eduardo Camavinga, injured after contact in training with Ousmane Dembélé, it is Vinicius Jr who seems to be affected. During Brazil’s defeat against Colombia (2-1), the left winger left the pitch in the 25th minute of play and examinations showed an injury to his left leg. The former Flamengo will even return directly to Madrid to begin his convalescence period.
The Madrilenian will inevitably miss the clash against Argentina (22/11), but according to Sport, he could miss the entire end of the 2023 calendar year. A huge blow for the Seleçao certainly, but especially for Casa Blanca, who will – again – have to grit their teeth. The infirmary has already been full since the start of the season at Real Madrid, and now Carlo Ancelotti will have to tinker once again to compensate for the absence of Vinicius Jr.
