Vinicius Junior was injured with Brazil during the game against Colombia, and the club confirmed today that he will be out longer than expected. The Brazilian suffers a tear in the biceps femoris of his left leg, affecting the distal tendon, which will keep him out of action until early February.

As a result, Vinicius will miss Real Madrid’s final two Champions League group stage matches against Napoli and Union Berlin. He will also miss La Liga fixtures against Cadiz, Granada, Real Betis, Villarreal, Alaves, Mallorca, Getafe, Almeria, and Las Palmas.

He would also be absent from the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Atletico Madrid, as well as the final if they were to advance.

Real Madrid hope to have Vinicius back in time for the third Madrid derby of the season against Atletico, which takes place at the start of February. This means that he would also be fit for the start of the Champions League knockout rounds, which is a crumb of comfort for Los Blancos.
