Vinicius Júnior suffers cervical injury and could miss the team

O Real Madrid announced that Vinícius Junior suffered a cervical injury after the match against Villarreal, valid for the Spanish Championship. The club did not provide details about the severity of the injury or the time needed for the player to recover. The incident occurred in the 33rd minute of the second half, when Vinícius fell inappropriately, being replaced shortly after scoring the second goal of the victory by 2 areal m 0. After carrying out tests, Real Madrid’s medical department confirmed the cervical injury. In an official statement, the club reported that the athlete’s situation is being closely monitored, but did not release further information about the player’s health status. Despite the injury, Vinícius Júnior remains on the squad list for the next games of the Brazilian team, which will face Chile on October 10th and Peru on the 15th, both in the World Cup qualifiers. The national team players will report next Monday for training. In another update, coach Dorival Júnior decided to call up goalkeeper Weverton to the national team, replacing Alisson, who left an English Championship match with pain in his thigh. This change in the squad reflects concern about the players’ physical condition at a crucial moment in the qualifiers.
