The (bad) series continues for Real Madrid. Already deprived of Jude Bellingham (shoulder), Eduardo Camavinga (knee), Aurélien Tchouameni (foot), Kepa (adductor), Thibaut Courtois (knee), Eder Militao (knee) or Arda Guler (thigh), the capital club will be deprived of several weeks of Vinicius Junior, injured Thursday during Brazil’s match against Colombia.
Medical examinations carried out by the Brazilian international upon his return to Madrid revealed “a rupture of the biceps femoris with damage to the distal tendon of the left leg”, wrote Real Madrid in a press release published this Saturday. These examinations confirm the initial diagnosis of the Brazilian selection pointing to “an injury to the posterior muscle of the left thigh” for its 23-year-old star, who had to withdraw from the clash against Argentina on Tuesday at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
The Madrid club did not specify the duration of unavailability of its player, but Vinicius should miss more than two months of competition and not be able to play again before 2024, according to the Spanish press. A new hard blow for “Vini”, who had already been away from the field for more than a month after an injury to his right thigh at the end of August against Celta Vigo in La Liga.
