Vinicius Jr’s Injury Raises Speculation: Will Real Madrid Stir Up the Transfer Market in the Last Days? 🤔⚽

Football — 08/29/2023


Real Madrid has recently played three matches in La Liga 2023/2024 and has already experienced a number of major player injuries.

Arda Guler, Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, and now the brightest talent Vinicius Jr. Particularly, it has been determined that Courtois and Militao will miss the most of Real Madrid’s season due to ACL injuries.

Vinicius Jr.’s right thigh muscle injury will keep him out for 6 to 8 weeks.

During the 15th minute of Real Madrid’s victory over Celta Vigo on previous Saturday morning, Vinicius Jr. was hurt while attempting to accelerate. He was then compelled to cease playing and fill in for Joselu.

Carlo Ancelotti expressed confidence during the game, but MRI scans revealed that Real Madrid’s new No. 7 had a right thigh muscle damage and would be out for 6 to 8 weeks. 

The most optimistic player in Real Madrid’s assault is Vinicius Jr., who took over the number 7 jersey in the summer.

At least six Real Madrid games have been played without Vini Jr., including the September 24 Madrid Derby and the opening leg of the Champions League group stage, according to COPE.

For Los Blancos, this is unquestionably a devastating loss. After Karim Benzema left, the Spanish capital squad put all of their hope in the Brazilian superstar. The only players in Real Madrid’s offensive right now are Joselu, Rodrygo Gomes, and Brahim Diaz.

There are no plans for Real Madrid to sign any players.

Vinicius Jr.’s absence from Carlo Ancelotti’s plans and the tiredness of Real Madrid’s strikers appear to raise the likelihood that Real Madrid will return to the transfer market and hunt for replacements.

Real Madrid will put their faith in the remaining players during this difficult period.

However, according to COPE, the Spanish Royal team has no intention of entering the market and has basically closed the book on the personnel situation during the little remaining time of the summer market.

Real Madrid is said to not want to buy quickly and will find a way through this difficult period until Vinicius Jr. return to play.

Don Carlo had to change plans because Vinicius Jr.

If not looking for direct alternatives in the market, Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti will certainly have to reconfigure their systems.

Real Madrid can return to the familiar 4-3-3 formation as in previous seasons, with Joselu appearing at the top of the attack. Taking over from the flanks for Spain forwards Rodrygo and Fede Valverde, Brahim Diaz will also join as an alternative to the right wing.

Ancelotti will have a lot of work to do despite winning the first 3 matches of the season,

In contrast, Los Blancos can also continue to persist with the diamond squad and accept to use Rodrygo and Joselu in the striker position. Jude Bellingham continues to operate at number 10 behind the strikers.

It remains to be seen what the Italian strategist will choose in the next matches, but it is increasingly clear that Real Madrid will be more willing to find an internal solution than to look for an alternative in the transfer market.
