REAL MADRID COULD MISS BRAZILIAN FOOTBALLER IN LA LIGA, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FIXTURES

Moreover, Real Madrid could miss the Brazilian football in several La Liga and Champions League fixtures.

Furthermore, multiple reports said Vinicius may skip as many as three La Liga matches and two Champions League fixtures.

Reports also suggested that the forward’s recovery time is estimated between three to four weeks.

That means Vinicius may target a return on December 18 at the Intercontinental Cup final.

Vini seems to be blaming the "crazy" football calendar for his injury. Makes sense. I was surprised that Ancelotti kept him on, after just returning from South America, and subbed Mbappe out, when that one rested through the international break. https://t.co/qtqexMsO5Y

LA LIGA HEAD, RODRI SHARE VINICIUS’ SENTIMENT ON COMPRESSED SCHEDULE

Furthermore, a La Liga official and Brazilian footballer Rodri also shared Vinicius’ sentiment regarding a compressed football schedule.

Moreover, La Liga president Javier Tebas spoke at the AFE awards to express his disappointment over the stacked football calendar.

“It is clear that the (football) calendar is overloaded. There are many competitions and it causes injuries,” the La Liga official said.

“It is an objective fact. La Liga has sued FIFA in the European Union,” he added.

Meanwhile, Rodri has previously spoken about the “excessive physical demands” suffered by top players just before he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

The injury sidelined the Spanish midfielder for several weeks, even showing up in crutches at the Ballon d’Or ceremony in October.
