Real Madrid advance medical tests for Vinicius
Brazilian Vinicius Junior brought forward his return to Madrid after being injured with his national team and landed in the Spanish capital on Saturday to undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury.
Vini had to be substituted after 26 minutes of Thursday's 2-1 defeat to Colombia at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez in Barranquilla, with initial observations indicating a muscle injury.
Vinicius is suffering from an injury to his left leg, the opposite of the muscle tear in the biceps femoris that he suffered on 25 August against Celta Vigo.
Before establishing a final diagnosis, Real Madrid's medical team wanted to carry out tests on him, which, although originally scheduled for Monday, are being carried out this Saturday in Madrid.
Madrid's infirmary has been filled with Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, long-term absentees with knee injuries, plus muscular problems for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Arda Guler and Dani Ceballos, a fractured toe for Aurelien Tchouameni, a dislocated shoulder for Jude Bellingham and new problems for Camavinga and Vinícius that punish Carlo Ancelotti's outlook for their upcoming fixtures.
