Real Madrid fears for Vinicius Junior: His participation against Bayern is shaky! | OneFootball

Shortly before the Champions League clash against FC Bayern, Vinicius Junior is causing concern at Real Madrid. The attacking star has recently had to take a break from the national team – his participation in the quarter-finals is currently uncertain

According to Globo Esporte, the 25-year-old has suspended training with the Brazilian national team due to pain in his thigh, which he is said to have felt after the test match against France (1:2)

However, an examination on Friday apparently did not reveal any structural injury, meaning that it was a precautionary measure. Vinicius only completed sessions in the fitness room and then received treatment

However, there is still a residual risk, and it is still unclear whether the winger will play in the next international match against Croatia

Vinicius is one of Real Madrid’s key players and, alongside Kylian Mbappé, one of the most important attacking factors

His numbers speak for themselves: in 43 competitive games this season, the Brazilian has scored 17 goals and provided 13 assists, making him a key contributor to Madrid’s attacking strength

With a view to the quarter-final against FC Bayern, Madrid will not be taking any risks. The match against Munich is considered one of the most important games of the season. With Thibaut Courtois (torn muscle), the Whites are already without a key player

A fit Vinicius could make all the difference – an injured or even missing star would significantly change the starting position

At the moment, there are many indications that Real Madrid will selectively manage the workload, with a final decision on Vinicius‘ involvement likely to be made shortly before the clash with FC Bayern.
