Significant Development Regarding Vinicius Jr.’s Return to Real Madrid

Vinicius Junior’s recent injury dealt a significant blow to Real Madrid, a club already grappling with depth issues across the pitch, particularly in the forward positions. With the departure of Karim Benzema at the end of the previous season and no world-class replacement signed, the Brazilian winger has become the primary source of goals for Los Blancos.

While Jude Bellingham has risen to the occasion, scoring five goals in four appearances for Real Madrid, there remains a scarcity of reliable goal scorers in the team.

Rodrygo has displayed promise, but uncertainties linger over his ability to perform as part of a front-two. Additionally, the question remains whether Joselu can consistently find the back of the net when handed a sustained role in the starting lineup, which is likely with Vinicius sidelined.

Real Madrid fans are eagerly anticipating Vinicius’ return to the pitch. But when can they expect it?

According to AS, Real Madrid has no intention of rushing or risking Vinicius’ return prematurely, as they are mindful that an early comeback could lead to a call-up with the Brazilian national team during the October break. The crucial date set for Vinicius’ return is the club’s fixture against Sevilla at the Sanchez Pizjuan, scheduled for October 21 or 22.

This timeframe should afford Vinicius ample opportunity to recover from his injury and regain rhythm through training before stepping back onto the field. Consequently, it appears that Vinicius is unlikely to return for over a month, with two international breaks in between, which should limit the number of games he misses.
