A few hours before the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid, Vinícius Júnior caused concern during the final training session of the day on Tuesday. Although he was able to resume the session after being assessed by the medical staff, the worry remains.
Real Madrid is preparing for significant sporting challenges in the coming days. Already this Wednesday, Carlo Ancelotti and his players will face Real Sociedad at Anoeta in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final. Before this match, several uncertainties hang over the squad. Indeed, while there are doubts about Kylian Mbappé’s presence, who missed the training session on Tuesday due to a dental issue, Vinícius Júnior also caused a scare for the Madridistas on that day. While taking part in the final adjustments with the team, the Brazilian winger was injured.
During several minutes, the FIFA Best Player 2024 was attended to by Real Madrid’s medical staff. Ultimately, Vinícius Júnior rejoined his teammates to complete the session. Although it was more a scare than anything serious, fingers must be crossed to ensure no further bad news emerges in the coming days. Last Saturday, Dani Ceballos also caused concern when he was injured during training. After being treated, he returned to his teammates and later played a few minutes against Girona in the league.
Considering the number of matches coming up in the next few weeks, extra caution will be required during training sessions. Even though it’s important to give full effort in exercises, care must be taken to avoid any setbacks. Despite the scare, Vinícius Júnior is expected to play against Real Sociedad on Wednesday in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final.
