This injury will keep Vinicius out for at least two months and he could even miss the remainder of the season, according to reports from MARCA. The young attacker will also miss the chance to make his debut with the Brazilian national team later this month. He made Tite’s squad list yet this injury will force him to wait a bit more before playing for Brazil’s first team.
Knowing that Real Madrid just have nothing to fight for this season, the coaching staff will surely wait until he’s 100% ready to come back.
