Vinícius Júnior asked to come off with a knock weeks before World Cup | OneFootball

The Brazilian winger scored the only goal of the match in the 14th minute of the first half after receiving an assist from Kylian Mbappé. However, in the 30th minute of the second half, the player felt pain in his right leg and immediately asked to be substituted due to a muscle issue.

Álvaro Arbeloa tried to downplay the situation in the press conference by stating that the forward came off because of discomfort and that, at first glance, it did not seem serious. Despite the head coach’s remarks, the attacker will undergo medical tests this Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
