Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior will be sidelined for an extended period after picking up a hamstring injury, the club confirmed in an official medical update. The 24-year-old Brazilian winger sustained the injury during Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Leganés.
Real Madrid’s medical team conducted tests on Monday, revealing the extent of the damage. "Vinícius Júnior has been diagnosed with a left leg hamstring injury," the club said in a statement.
The injury is expected to keep Vinícius Júnior out of action for several weeks, which likely rules him out of Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool. Spanish reports suggest he could be sidelined for up to a month, depending on his recovery progress.
The loss of Vinícius will be a significant blow to Madrid, as the Brazilian has been in strong form this season, contributing with crucial goals and assists.
