Vinicius Junior - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Suspension over Vinicius is available again for all competitions after missing the last four La Liga matches through suspension.

Impact Vinicius has played only in a couple of Champions League games over the past month following the red card he received against Villarreal. The talented attacker has failed to find the net or set up a goal in six consecutive outings, and it doesn't help his case that the team performed well with Arda Guler and Yan Diomande on the wings. The Brazilian is still considered an important option by manager Jose Mourinho though, and he could replace or split playing time with Diomande in the near future.

Impact Vinicius was sent off shortly after his goal was disallowed after he grabbed Nathan Saliba by the hair, resulting in a straight red. The winger will miss the Oct. 18 match against Sevilla, and if the Disciplinary Committee doesn't extend the ban, he should be eligible to face Barcelona on Oct. 25 in the Superclasico.

Endures difficult start Vinicius has recorded one goal and three assists across seven La Liga appearances this season but has struggled to consistently make an impact from the left wing.

Impact Vinicius has remained a regular starter despite an uneven start to the campaign, creating 13 chances in addition to his four goal contributions. The winger has struggled to be as decisive in one-on-one situations and attacking areas as expected, and his playing time has recently begun to decrease. After playing nearly every minute earlier in the campaign, Vinicius has been substituted around the hour mark in each of the last two matches, creating some uncertainty around his workload moving forward.
