Vinicius has set off major concerns within Real Madrid's camp after sustaining an injury at the start of the match against Celta Vigo. The Brazilian player, dealing with a muscular issue in the back of his right leg, found himself in need of a substitution by the 15th minute. 

 

The injury-triggering incident occurred during a high-speed sprint around the 10th minute, extending over roughly 60 meters, during which he left two opponents in his wake. Right after delivering the ball to Rodrygo, Vinicius suddenly decelerated and collapsed onto the ground.

Vinicius sensed discomfort and the Madrid medical staff immediately employed a compressive bandage on the affected area. The wearer of the white number 7 jersey made an effort to soldier on but managed to persevere for merely an additional three minutes before being replaced by Joselu at the 15-minute mark of the match.

 

If the condition is verified, it would indicate Vinicius' debut muscular injury and his second overall since joining Madrid half a decade ago. At present, Madrid is grappling with injuries to Courtois and Militao (of an extended duration), Güler, Mendy, and Ceballos, all of whom are poised to resume training next week.
