Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior will miss Wednesday’s Champions League showdown with Liverpool after being sidelined with a hamstring injury. The Spanish club confirmed the setback in a statement on Monday.
“After tests taken today, our player Vinicius Junior has been diagnosed by Real Madrid’s medical services with a hamstring injury in his left leg,” the club announced.
Spanish media reports suggest the Brazilian winger could be out for up to a month, potentially sidelining him for the Champions League fixture against Atalanta on December 10. His absence also rules him out of domestic and European action in the coming weeks, including the critical midweek clash at Anfield.
Vinicius has been a key figure for Los Blancos this season, and his injury presents a significant blow to the team’s attacking options as they navigate a demanding schedule. Real Madrid will now rely on their squad depth to maintain momentum in both La Liga and the Champions League during his recovery.
