Vinicius Junior looked to have hurt his hamstring while playing for his country, which worries the Real Madrid winger.
The 23-year-old was replaced during the first half of Brazil’s World Cup qualifying match against Colombia. After Vinicius was substituted, Brazil led 1-0 because of a brilliant attacking move featuring Gabriel Martinelli and the Real Madrid star.
Vini Jr. was substituted after just twenty-seven minutes, and as he walked carefully off the field, it seemed like he was holding his hamstring. On the touchline, he was seen receiving treatment for his left leg.
This suggests that he might have suffered a thigh or hamstring injury. He was free to leave the field of play once Vinicius was replaced, but a minor ailment could keep him out until the beginning of next year.
Throughout the World Cup, Real Madrid’s injury list has continued to grow.The news of Vini’s injury concerns will cause Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, even more concern. Despite having a mixed start to the La Liga season, Los Blancos are already trailing Girona, the league leaders, after 13 games.
He has already suffered three significant injuries during the international break, Vinicius being the most recent.
Due to a shoulder injury, Jude Bellingham, the team’s most impressive player thus far this season, had to leave England’s international camp earlier this week.
Eduardo Camavinga had to leave the French team on Thursday afternoon after getting into a fight with Ousmane Dembele during training. Camavinga could be out for up to eight weeks due to a knee injury.
