Real Madrid were dealt another injury blow as Vinicius Junior had to be replaced while playing Brazil against Colombia. He had assisted the first goal, but later in the first half, he fell down clutching his thigh and was taken out in the 27th minute of the World Cup qualifier.
Eduardo Camavinga previously suffered an injury while practicing with the French national team after colliding with Ousmane Dembele. It will keep him out of commission for around two months. The man of the moment, Jude Bellingham, has also been sidelined with a shoulder injury in recent games.
Vinicius opened the match excellently for Brazil, assisting Gabriel Martinelli’s opening. However, it turned out to be a regrettable recollection. Not only was he wounded, but they also lost 2-1 to Colombia.
The seriousness of the injury will be a major concern for Real Madrid. It was not the result of a collision or even a very violent movement. Vinicius was running on the midway line, distant from the action, when it occurred.
Real Madrid received concerning Vinicius Jr injury news.
Earlier in the season, the 23-year-old sustained a similar kind of injury that kept him out for more than a month. Vinicius, according to Managing Madrid, said:
“I believe it’s the same injury as before.” I got a whack there, and it stung afterward.”
There have also been rumors on social media that Vinicius may miss another month of activity. That would be awful news for Real Madrid if true.
Vinicius was finally finding his form after a shaky start to the season. As a result, his injuries couldn’t have occurred at a worse moment.
Real Madrid will face Cadiz on November 26 and will almost certainly be without many key players. Carlo Ancelotti has a lot of thinking to do with so little depth in the attacking areas.
