Real Madrid's forward Vinicius Jr. is set to face an extended period on the sidelines due to a thigh muscle injury sustained during a recent match against Celta Vigo.
Real confirmed the injury, and sources close to the player have indicated to Reuters that he is likely to be unavailable for approximately five to six weeks. As a consequence, he is anticipated to miss Brazil's first two World Cup 2026 qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru in September.
