Madrid, September 24 (European Media) –
Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior has confirmed that he will not be able to participate in this Sunday’s derby against Atletico Madrid (9:00 pm) at the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium due to gastroenteritis.
The Brazilian returns to Madrid’s squad this Saturday after several weeks of absence following an injury to his right hamstring during the EA Sports La Liga match against RC Celta in Paraídos at the end of August.
The attacker has had his deadline cut short and is expected to be out for around six weeks and is ready to play again this Sunday. Carlo said: “Vinicius started training with the team yesterday. He is in good condition and the injury has been forgotten. He trained well today and he will enter the team. Tomorrow I will decide his place in tomorrow’s game. What role to play,” Ancelotti told a news conference on Saturday.
In addition, the Italian coach also assured that the risk of the Brazilian’s recurrence is “zero”. “He trains because the risk is zero. If tomorrow we think there is a proportional risk, we will not take the risk. Tomorrow we will talk about it in complete calm. The important thing is that Vinicius has recovered. “I have told him , his physical condition is a little lacking, which is normal, but these are things we will evaluate tomorrow,” he explained before knowing that he would miss the game.
