The winger for Real Madrid left Brazil’s World Cup qualifier against Colombia after 26 minutes.
Around the middle of the first half, Vinicius went down and seemed to point to the top of his left leg. He was taken out of the race right away, and Joao Pedro took his place.
This is the second knock that Vinicius has taken this season. When he hurt the same leg against Celta Vigo in August, he couldn’t play for a month.
The winger’s leg problem this season is the first big injury he’s had since being promoted to Madrid’s first team in the 2019–20 season. In the first four years, he played for the senior team, he played in at least 35 games across all categories.
