Vinicius Jr. is ahead of schedule in his recovery from injury, according to Mario Cortegana from The Athletic.
The Brazilian winger of Cameroonian descent is eager to return to the pitch for Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League match against Atalanta on Tuesday, December 10, or potentially for their fixture against Rayo Vallecano on December 14.
Initially, the prognosis had Vinicius sidelined for approximately six weeks, which would have kept him out of action until late December at the earliest.
However, his swift progress suggests he may be back much sooner than anticipated, providing a significant boost to the team.
Real Madrid has certainly felt Vinicius’s absence, managing only one victory in the matches he has missed.
The team secured a narrow win against Getafe at home, but they suffered defeats against Liverpool and Athletic Club, losing 2-0 and 2-1, respectively.
Notably, Kylian Mbappe missed crucial penalties in both losses, highlighting the impact of Vinicius’s injury on the squad’s performance.
His potential return could be pivotal as Los Blancos look to regain their winning form.
