Vinicius looked to be unbalanced against Celta de Vigo in the La Liga clash as he always banked on his speed, but the pike did not come out as usual. Before the 10 minutes of the match, a gesture of pain worried the bench. An initial review by Real Madrid’s medical staff gave him the green light to continue, but shortly after, in the 17th minute, he finally gave up and was replaced by Joselu.
What happened? felt a bother, was hospitalized and forced to leave his position in the field. Although it is still very early, there is speculation about a muscle injury.
Pending a medical, after 1-0 thanks to Jude Bellingham’s goal, Carlo Ancelotti ruled out Vinicius in a press conference for the match against Getafe on Saturday 2 September. The Italian also clarified that it is nothing serious and added that he will be back after the national team break.
Who will replace Vinicius at Real Madrid?
As we mentioned, Joselu was the Brazilian striker’s replacement in the match against Celta de Vigo and that way Carlo Ancelotti had another area striker on the pitch. Will it be the first choice? If the Italian bets on another striker with Rodrigo and Jude Bellingham, he is likely to do so. Otherwise, the other possibility would involve Brahim Díaz.
