Vinicius Junior has picked up yet another injury while on international break, as the Brazilian is expected to miss at least the next two months with the same knock he had coming into the campaign.
Vinicius Junior Out For At Least Two Months
Brazil and Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior has picked up the same knock that kept him out of action at the beginning of the season, with the winger expected to be missing for at least the next two months.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed Vinicius Junior’s lengthy absence on Saturday afternoon, as Madrid’s injury woes continue to mount up.
The hamstring strain that Vinicius is struggling with kept him away from the pitch between August and September at the beginning of this season, but the knock never seemed to fully go away.

Vinicius picked up his injury during the international break this week, with the Galactico expressing his concern over the knock after limping off the field during Brazil’s 2-1 loss to Columbia.
“I think it’s the same injury as last time,” Vinicius said post-match. “I got a knock, and I felt it [again] later. I’ll have tests, to see what it is.”
The injury to Vinicius is the latest setback for Real Madrid in the past week, after Eduardo Camavinga tore a ligament in his knee during training for France.
Vinicius and Camavinga join Kepa, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao in the treatment room, with all three set to be out for a long period of time with serious injuries.
Jude Bellingham has also been struggling with a shoulder injury recently after dislocating it, however after missing England’s international break to recover the new Madrid superstar is expected to make his return soon.
