Vinicius JR out for six weeks with muscular injury

Real Madrid's forward Vinicius Junior has suffered a muscular injury that could keep him out of action for around six weeks. During Friday's match against Celta Vigo, he experienced the injury and tried to continue playing, but ultimately had to be substituted by Joselu in the 18th minute.

Initially, coach Carlo Ancelotti downplayed the severity of the injury, but subsequent evaluations have revealed that Vinicius might be out for a longer period than anticipated.

Journalist Miguel Angel Diaz has indicated that Vinicius could be sidelined for up to six weeks, which is a significant setback for Real Madrid. This unfortunate timing will cause him to miss multiple La Liga matches and possibly at least one Champions League game.

Additionally, Vinicius will not be available for Brazil's World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.
