Vinicius Jr., a player for Real Madrid, was taken out of the starting lineup against Atletico Madrid because he hurt himself in the warm-up.

Madrid was dealt a huge blow before their game against Atleti because they couldn’t play their star player. The Brazilian was taken off the field just minutes before the game, which caused a lot of confusion among the people at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Vinicius was replaced by Brahim Diaz, who made an instant impact by scoring the first goal of the game in just 20 minutes. Carlo Ancelotti had Vinicius on the bench, but he didn’t put him into the game in the second half. Instead, Marcos Llorente scored an equalizer in extra time, which took the lead away from the La Liga leaders.

Fans of Real Madrid will be hoping that Vinicius doesn’t have to miss any more games. The Brazilian has been having trouble staying healthy during the first half of the season. Since Ancelotti came back, the 23-year-old has been very important for his team. He scored a hat-trick in Real’s 4-1 Super Cup win over Barcelona.

Vinicius will be checked to make sure he can play next Saturday when his team plays Girona in a game that could decide the title. Real is the choice to win La Liga after pulling ahead of rivals Barcelona, but Girona has been the surprise of the season so far and won’t give up without a fight. Only two points are separating the two teams at the top of the table.
