Real Madrid announced that their star striker Vinicius suffered a left calf injury. Its unavailability is not specified. This leaves the field open on the left side to Kylian Mbappé
Their association sparked on Sunday against Leganès, but Kylian Mbappé will have to play for some time without Vinicius, and therefore be able to occupy the left flank of the Madrid attack.
Real Madrid announced this Monday morning that their star striker Vinicius Jr was injured in the biceps femoris of his left leg. The Madrid club did not give a length of unavailability, the 2nd of the 2024 Ballon d'Or will not participate in the Champions League clash against Liverpool on Wednesday evening. His absence is estimated at around three weeks.
What positioning for Mbappé?
Bad news for Real Madrid, as the connection with Kylian Mbappé (who had started on the left before refocusing) resulted in a goal from the Frenchman following an offering from the Brazilian.
The captain of the French team had also summarized at the end of the meeting the discussions on his positioning and his relationship with Vinicius: “I started well, with rhythm, in a different position. As I I said on the first day of my arrival, I can play in different positions and I will play while giving the maximum. This is the story of my career, playing on the right, in the center, on the left… above all I want. play well and score a lot of goals.” With the absence of Vinicius and the complementarity to be found with Bellingham, the debate on his positioning will take a new turn.
