Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, has provided a motivating statement regarding Vinicius Junior’s thigh injury.
Jude Bellingham’s late goal gave Los Blancos a 1-0 victory away at Celta Vigo, continuing their remarkable unbeaten start to the La Liga season.
Despite Bellingham scoring four league goals in three games, Vinicius’ fitness was the focus of discussion following the encounter.
When questioned about the most recent developments regarding the Brazilian international at his press conference in Vigo, the seasoned Italian said he is concerned.
There are no intentions to add additional players because, as we demonstrated today, we can score goals even without Vinicius.
It doesn’t look like Vini won’t play against Getafe that seriously.He wanted to continue playing, but we were unwilling to take a chance. After the international break, he will return.The 23-year-old has spent his time in Madrid relatively injury-free, with his lone extended absence coming in 2019.Ancelotti will likely provide a thorough update in the coming days but won’t be there for the home game against Getafe the following weekend.Ancelotti’s remarks, however, do not make it clear whether Vinicius will skip Brazil’s upcoming international duty as they take on Bolivia and Peru in 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
