Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr is doubtful for his team’s upcoming Champions League match against Liverpool due to a hamstring injury.
The Brazilian played the full 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s 3-0 La Liga victory over Leganes on Sunday.
Madrid, currently 18th in the 36-team Champions League standings, will travel to Anfield on Wednesday to face top-ranked Liverpool.
On Monday, the club issued a statement confirming that Vinicius had sustained “an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg.”
According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the Brazilian international may be out for approximately three weeks, though Real Madrid has not commented on the exact severity of the injury.
Writing on X following Madrid’s statement, Vinicius Jr said: “Crazy calendar. Time to recover.”
Liverpool are unlikely to have defender Trent Alexander-Arnold available for the visit of the 15-time European Cup winners to Anfield.
The England right-back missed Sunday’s 3-2 victory at Southampton due to a hamstring injury sustained before the international break.
