Vinícius Júnior sustained a thigh injury against Leganes that will keep him on the sidelines for up to six of Real Madrid's upcoming matches, including the club's trip to Anfield.
Real Madrid's injury woes continue to worsen. Vinícius Júnior now joins Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, Rodrygo and Aurélien Tchouaméni in the infirmary. The winger showed no signs of a problem in Real Madrid's first match back from the November international break, bagging an assist and playing all 90 minutes. After the La Liga clash, though, Vinícius Júnior was diagnosed with a significant injury.
"Following tests carried out today by the Real Madrid Medical Services on our player Vini Jr., he has been diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. His progress will be monitored," the club said in an official statement.
Vinícius Júnior leads Real Madrid in scoring with 12 goals and five assists across all competitions. The Brazilian featured in all 18 of Los Blancos' matches this season, but now is looking at a lengthy period on the sidelines.
