The ongoing international break has been going badly for Real Madrid, who have their two star players injured this week.

Eduardo Camavinga ruptured his knee during a training session with France, which was shortly followed by Vinicius Junior’s knock.

The Brazilian forward had started in the game against Colombia, but 27 minutes into the match, he had to be subbed off due to an injury. Everything suggests that the player could be out for at least a month.

Vinicius’ message to fans

Needless to say, the injury against Colombia meant Vinicius Junior had to cut short his stay with the Brazilian national team and had to return to Madrid.

Upon his arrival, the Real Madrid superstar released an optimistic message to his fans, suggesting that he will be soon back in action. Posting on social media, Vinicius wrote, “I will come back stronger.”

This is not the first time Vinicius has had to deal with injuries this season. The winger was suffering from a hamstring problem at the start of the campaign, which saw him sidelined for about a month.

Now, Vinicius is running the risk of missing the crucial December period, where Real Madrid would have required his skillset and productivity in front of goal.

Massive setback for Real Madrid

The injuries of Vinicius and Camavinga add to Real Madrid’s piling list, that too at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Even Jude Bellingham has been struggling with a knock whereas Arda Guler had to delay his return to the pitch. With that in mind, the coming month could be very important for Los Blancos.

During this period, it will be imperative for Carlo Ancelotti to manage his depleted squad well and perhaps utilise the talents coming out of the youth setup.
