Real Madrid received a massive boost with Vinicius Jr travelling with the team to Italy for Champions League match against Atalanta. The Brazilian winger suffered a hamstring injury in November which was expected to keep him out until the Intercontinental Cup final on December 18. However his inclusion in the playing XI still remains under cloud
Last week Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti provided an update on Vinicius injury stating that he was able to train on Friday and would return for the Champions League fixture. Speaking to the media he said, “Vini has recovered from his injury very well, he will not be ready for tomorrow but he will be for the next Champions League game,”
Can Real Madrid afford losing to Atalanta?
The return of Vinicius’ bolsters a Madrid side which has suffered three defeats in its opening five European matches, sitting 24th in the Champions League group table.
A loss to Atalanta would further deepen the crisis for Real Madrid, tarnishing their storied legacy in the competition. On the other hand, a victory could provide the much-needed momentum to rekindle their Champions League campaign.
