Vinicius Jr of Real Madrid is a doubt for their upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury sustained in a 3-0 La Liga win. Reports suggest he could be sidelined for three weeks. Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is also recovering from a hamstring injury.
Vinicius Jr, the Brazilian forward for Real Madrid, is a doubt for the team's upcoming Champions League match against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury. The injury was sustained after Madrid's 3-0 victory over Leganes in La Liga on Sunday.
Real Madrid confirmed on Monday that Vinicius Jr had suffered an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. While the club has not specified the severity of the injury, Spanish media reports suggest the player could be sidelined for up to three weeks. In a message posted on social media, Vinicius Jr acknowledged the challenging schedule, stating, “Crazy calendar. Time to recover.”
Real Madrid is set to face Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday, where they will be up against a team sitting at the top of the Premier League table. The match is critical for both teams as they aim to secure their place in the Champions League knockout rounds.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is also dealing with injury concerns, with defender Trent Alexander-Arnold potentially unavailable for the match due to a hamstring issue. The England international missed Liverpool's 3-2 win over Southampton on Sunday due to this injury, which was sustained before the international break.
Both teams will need to adjust their lineups as they face off in what promises to be a crucial European clash.
