Real Madrid dealt hammer-blow as Vinicius Junior is ruled out with hamstring injury
Today at 06:17 AM
Just as it looked as though Real Madrid were starting to get back on track, Carlo Ancelotti has been dealt another major obstacle to work around. Vinicius Junior will be out for the rest of 2024 in all likelihood.
Vinicius has been Los Blancos' most effective and best player this season, continuing his good form with the opening goal on Sunday against Leganes. However Diario AS report that a thigh tear will keep him out of action for a month.
It is a huge blow for Ancelotti and Real Madrid, one which will be felt most keenly against Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday. Their trip to Anfield, and any result that is not a win, could see them struggle for a place in the top eight. After that, Los Blancos host Getafe, travel to Athletic Club, Girona, Atalanta and Rayo Vallecano, before heading to Qatar for the Intercontinental Championship, formerly the Club World Cup. They would have the final there, and then return hom to play Sevilla on the 22nd of December, which Vinicius could be in contention for.
