Vinícius Jr. sidelined for Real Madrid’s Champions League clash with Liverpool

Real Madrid’s influential forward Vinícius Jr. has been ruled out of their highly anticipated Champions League match against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury. The Brazilian sustained the injury to his left biceps femoris, as confirmed by the club following his full participation in Madrid’s recent 3-0 La Liga victory over Leganés.

While the exact timeline for his recovery is unclear, reports suggest a potential three-week absence, raising concerns over his availability for critical fixtures.

Real Madrid has not provided further details, leaving room for speculation about the injury’s severity.

Vinícius, a standout performer this season, has been integral to Madrid’s attacking prowess under Carlo Ancelotti.

His absence presents a challenge as the Spanish giants prepare to face Liverpool at Anfield, a team known for its intensity and dominant home record.

Carlo Ancelotti will rely on players like Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, and Joselu to fill the void, while Vinícius focuses on his rehabilitation.

Madrid fans will hope for a swift recovery as the team looks to maintain its momentum in both domestic and European campaigns.
