La Liga giants Real Madrid have late this week been forced to sweat over the wellbeing of a leading member of the club’s attacking ranks.
The player in question? VinĂcius Jr.
Wide-man VinĂcius is for his part currently away on international duty, with Brazil.
The 25-year-old featured from the off in midweek, as Carlo Ancelotti’s troops slipped to defeat in a friendly meeting with France.
En route to as much, Barcelona standout Raphinha picked up an injury setback, set to keep the former Leeds United man sidelined for a number of weeks.
And if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Real Madrid could yet be negatively affected by Thursday’s high-profile friendly, too.
As per a report from El Chiringuito TV, VinĂcius played no part in Brazil’s latest training session on Saturday morning.
The attacker was instead treated for injury discomfort by the Seleção’s medical team, with an update on his wellbeing expected over the days ahead.
