Dealing with back problem Vinicius Junior was a late scratch for Sunday's contest against Atletico Madrid, reportedly having picked up a cervical issue in the days leading up to the match, according to Aran... Impact Vinicius Junior looks to be heading for the injury report once again, already missing out on 11 matches this season and now possibly adding more time to that list after picking up a cervical issue. The winger's discomfort has been labeled as serious, but the club will hope only the initial reports give that answer, as they will not want to lose one of their best players for another extended absence. He still hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's match against Girona, but his availability will depend on his evolution in the coming days, as he hopes to train and get back on the pitch this week.
