The potential return of Vinicius for Real Madrid

Spanish press reports revealed the expected date for the return of Brazilian and Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior to the royal again due to the muscle injury he suffered during the Celta Vigo battle. Real Madrid may have won their third successive La Liga game on the bounce and Jude Bellingham may have been the match-winner yet again, but there was still cause for concern for Carlo Ancelotti after Los Blancos' 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo. The forward hobbled off after just 18 minutes against Celta Vigo having initially tried to carry on playing after pulling up with a hamstring issue just five minutes earlier. However, Vinicius was unable to continue and added his name to a growing injury list at the Bernabeu. According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca", Vinicius aims to be present in the Madrid derby on September 23 or 24. MARCA added that Vinicius, along with the medical staff, is already working on his readiness for this match, but without risking him, but everyone believes that his readiness for this match is possible. Despite the injuries stacking up, Ancelotti has ruled out dipping into the transfer market to replace those in the treatment room, something which may be concerning for Real Madrid supporters. The newspaper indicated that Vinicius worked hard so that the recovery would be as good and quick as possible, but always while maintaining calm and without taking wrong steps, adding that all the tests he underwent on a daily basis were positive and his return may come earlier than it was initially planned. Marca stated that Vinicius could be seen training this week, adding that his outstanding physical fitness helps him, as well as his willingness to play.
