Real Madrid has been dealt with a huge blow as one of their star players has been sidelined due to injury. Brazil international Vinicius Junior is out for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury, reports confirmed on Monday.
Real Madrid has went ahead to confirmed that the Brazilian is injured in a statement released on their website, but did not specify his expected absence time.
Vinicius picked up the injury against Celta Vigo on Friday in Real Madrid’s 1-0 win at Balaidos, a result which kept the team top of La Liga with a 100 percent record after three games.
The 23-year-old may not be fit by the time the Champions League starts on September 19, and is set to miss important La Liga matches against Real Sociedad and city rivals Atletico Madrid before then.
