After being injured on the Celta Vigo pitch in the match of the third day of La Liga, where Real Madrid won (1-0) thanks to a goal from Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior does not seem ready to do his return to the football pitches anytime soon.
Vinicius will miss several games. After picking up the injury in the 18th minute of the game against Vigo, the coach initially expressed reassuring thoughts of a quick comeback but unfortunately that won’t materialize. “He won’t play the next game against Getafe but his injury doesn’t seem very serious, I took him out as a precaution,” Carlo Ancelotti told reporters after the game.
A quick return to the pitch doesn’t seem to be in the cards for the Brazilian. According to information from AS, Vinicius Junior suffered a torn hamstring in his right leg. This injury could keep him out of action for several weeks. According to the outlet, due to this pain in the back of his right thigh, the Brazilian left winger could be out for a period of four to five weeks.
Indeed, Vinicius is already absent against Getafe and would not go to the truce with Brazil in September either. He would also miss the clash against Real Sociedad, and is doubtful for the derby against Atlético Madrid on September 24.
It should be noted that this is the first major injury for Vinicius Junior, who joined Real Madrid in 2018. This after the rupture of the ligaments of the tibiofibular joint, against Ajax, in 2019. The player will pass an MRI to find out what he suffered in Vigo.
