Real Madrid Superstar at Risk of Missing Derby Against Atletico

Real Madrid is grappling with a major issue in the form of an extensive injury list, with several key players sidelined. The absence of crucial figures like Eder Militao and Thibaut Courtois, both facing ACL injuries, casts doubt on their return to action this season. Meanwhile, Arda Guler underwent surgery before even making his debut for Los Blancos, compounding the injury woes. Adding to the concerns is the recent injury sidelining Vinicius Jr.

Jude Bellingham has admirably stepped up by scoring crucial goals when needed, even equalling one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s records. However, relying solely on Bellingham for scoring in every match, particularly in high-stakes encounters, is an unsustainable approach.

The return of Vinicius Jr. from injury is crucial, as he provides a valuable source of goals for Real Madrid. Unfortunately, it appears that the Brazilian winger will be out of action for an extended period, potentially even missing the upcoming derby against Atletico Madrid.

According to Jorge C Picon’s tweet, Vinicius will undergo new tests in Valdebebas this week to assess the progress of his injury. While his recovery is showing promise, it remains uncertain whether he will be available for the derby against Atletico Madrid. The prospects of his participation in the match still appear to be in doubt.

The absence of Vinicius Jr. would undoubtedly be a significant loss for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. While he may have been adjusting to a new role this season as part of a front-two, his quality and ability to rise to the occasion in big games are well-established. Real Madrid will hope for a swift recovery as they navigate this challenging period of injuries.
