Vinicius Jr. is recovering faster than expected. This striker has been able to practice on the pitch at Valdebebas and is expected to return to practice with his teammates early next week.

Injured against Celta Vigo, Vinicius Junior has not been on the pitch since the end of August, but the end of his ordeal is getting closer.

A flagship element of Real Madrid’s attɑck since the departure of Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia, Vinicius Junior was under pressure at the start of the season. Scorer for his second appearance against Almeria, the Brazilian international saw his start to the season come to a complete halt following an injury to his leg flexor muscle which kept him away from the field since August 25. But obviously, the winger is ahead of his passing times and good news could soon come.

Vinicius in advance

According to information from Spanish media  El Chiringuito , the new number 7 has reduced his time of absence, initially estimated at six weeks. He should even return to training next week with the Merengue who must face Union Berlin on Wednesday in the Champions League and Atlético Madrid on Sunday in La Liga. The return of the winger will not fail to please his coach who had to work to find fallback solutions, notably with an impressive Jude Bellingham and a still surprising Joselu.
