On Wednesday, Liverpool will take on Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League and Vinícius Júnior will miss the tie due to an injury.
The La Liga side have confirmed on their official website that the forward has suffered a muscle injury in his left leg, without providing any details on when he could return to action.
AS cover this and then provide their own information that the 24-year-old is set to be on the sidelines for a month. This means he will not only miss the Liverpool clash but also Real Madrid’s upcoming fixtures in the coming weeks.
They add the attacker will be under observation and there will soon be more clarity on how long he will be on the sidelines.
Vinícius’ injury is a big blow for Carlo Ancelotti and his side, who are already struggling with serious injuries to key players in defence. The Brazil international now joins them in Real Madrid’s treatment room, for the next four weeks.
His setback forces the Italian manager to change his plans for the European clash against Liverpool.
Vinícius has managed 12 goals and eight assists from 18 games in all competitions this season.
