Real Madrid confirmed in an official statement that Vinicius Junior is suffering from a neck injury.
The Brazilian star left the Villarreal match on Saturday in the 79th minute after suffering a blow.
According to the statement and what was published by the Spanish newspapers, Vinicius’ injury is not serious, and he will not be away from the stadiums for long.
Real Madrid’s medical staff recommended that the player not join the Brazilian national team camp during the international break that will start on Monday, and that he should rest to recover quickly.
If things go as planned, Vinicius will return to the stadiums as soon as the international break ends and will play the Celta Vigo match scheduled for October 19.
There does not seem to be any danger to the 24-year-old in catching up with the Clasico against Barcelona, which will be held on October 26 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It is noteworthy that Real Madrid lost another star in the Villarreal match, Dani Carvajal, after he tore 3 ligaments in his knee, and he will be out of action for up to a year as a result.
