Real Madrid's Vinícius Jr. Sidelined for Over Two Months After Thigh Injury Against Colombia
Brazilian forward Vinícius Jr., a key figure for both Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, sustained a significant thigh injury during the ongoing international break. The 23-year-old suffered the setback in the Brazil vs. Colombia 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier match, leading to his premature exit from the game.
During the intense clash, Vinícius Jr. contributed by setting up Gabriel Martinelli for an early goal, showcasing his impactful presence on the field. However, his participation was abruptly cut short as he hobbled off before the half-hour mark, necessitating his substitution by Joao Pedro.
The injury comes at a challenging time for both the player and Real Madrid, as Vinícius Jr. has been contending with ongoing thigh concerns throughout this season. This recent muscular setback further complicates his playing prospects, potentially sidelining him until the upcoming year. Real Madrid, grappling with several injured players, faces the possibility of a prolonged absence for Vinícius Jr.
With his recovery timeframe spanning well into the next year, it seems improbable that Vinícius Jr. will be fit to face arch-rivals Argentina in the upcoming fixture, adding to the challenges for both club and country.
