However, 20 minutes later, Vinicius\u00a0hobbled off\u00a0the field with a suspected thigh injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following his substitution, Brazil would notably fall apart &#8211; going on to lose the game thanks to a second-half brace from Luis Diaz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking immediately after the game, Vini admitted that the injury was likely the same thigh ailment which kept him out for a month at the start of the 2023\/24 campaign, stating: &#8220;I think it&#8217;s the same injury as the last time. I took a hit there and it hurt a little after. [On Friday] we will do tests to see how I go.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/betwizad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/betwizad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-5.png 720w, https:\/\/betwizad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-5-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/betwizad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-5-380x253.png 380w, https:\/\/betwizad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-5-550x367.png 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Out of action again<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Said tests, however, have confirmed that the injury is in fact much more severe than the one the forward suffered in late August. A\u00a0statement\u00a0regarding the Brazilian&#8217;s fitness on Real Madrid&#8217;s official website reads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;After the tests carried out today [Saturday, November 18] on our player Vinicius Jr by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a tear in the femoral biceps with involvement of the distal tendon in his left leg.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The injury is expected to keep Vini out of action until the new year. This news will come as a bitter blow to Madrid, especially after it was revealed that midfielder\u00a0Eduardo Camvinga\u00a0is also set to miss the rest of 2023 with a knee injury suffered on international duty.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid have confirmed that Vinicius Junior suffered a &#8220;tear in the femoral biceps&#8221; in his left left during Brazil&#8217;s defeat to Colombia.
