Vinicius Junior will miss Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League match against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury.
The 24-year-old Brazilian played the entire match on Sunday as Real Madrid secured a 3-0 victory against Leganes in La Liga, but subsequent tests revealed a troubling issue in his left leg.
Following a thorough examination by the club’s medical staff, it was confirmed that Vinicius suffers from an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg.
The official statement from Real Madrid indicated, “His progress will be monitored.”
While the club has not specified the duration of his recovery, reports suggest that the talented winger may be sidelined for nearly a month.
This setback comes as the Champions League holders face an in-form Liverpool, who top the group with a perfect record of 12 points from four matches.
In contrast, Real Madrid sit in 18th place, having won two and lost two of their games so far.
Vinicius has been in excellent form this season, scoring 12 goals, including two hat-tricks in his last five matches.
His absence will certainly be a significant blow for Ancelotti’s side in their match against Liverpool.
