Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior to miss Liverpool match with leg injury | Vinicius Junior

Vinícius Júnior will miss Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Liverpool on Wednesday after suffering a leg muscle injury during Sunday’s 3-0 La Liga win over Leganés, the Spanish club said.

Sources close to the player say Vinicius is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks. It means he could miss up to seven games before the winter break.

A club statement said: “Following tests carried out today by Real Madrid’s medical service on our player Vini Jr, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg.”

Vinícius is the latest player on the club’s long injury list, which includes key players such as Rodrygo, Éder Militão, Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vázquez, Aurélien Tchouaméni and David Alaba.
