Back in starting XI Vinicius (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Vinicius is finally back with the team after a seven-match absence due to a hamstring injury, already returning to the starting XI for his first match healthy. He should remain in a starting spot moving forward, as he has started in every contest he has been named to the team sheet, missing 11 games due to injury. He will look to improve upon his goal contribution count, as he has five in the La Liga this season compared to his 19 from last campaign.

Impact Vinicius is an option to return for Wednesday's clash, though he's only expected to be a bench option for a few minutes. The winger isn't expected to be near the starting XI until a Jan. 21 clash with Almeria. Joselu should continue to start while Vinicius works on his fitness.

Hamstring injury confirmed Vinicius Junior was diagnosed with a left hamstring injury and is expected to miss between two to three months, the club announced Saturday.

Impact As expected, the initial diagnosis has been confirmed, and the star forward is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Joselu and Rodrygo are players who will earn a fantasy boost with Vinicius out, and his absence will undoubtedly hurt Real Madrid's depth in the final meters.

Impact Vinicius sounds like a massive doubt to play Brazil's other qualifier, unless it's not the same injury. If it's hamstring related, he'll probably be on the sideline for a couple weeks because if it's related to the one he had a couple months ago that forced him to miss about a month, you don't want to play through any new issue. Following tests, more information will be released, but until then, he seems like a doubt for Real Madrid's next couple matches.

Injures leg with national team Vinicius Junior injured his leg and was forced to come off in the 27th minute during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Colombia during the World Cup Qualifiers.

Impact Vinicius Junior had assisted Brazil's first goal before coming off with an injury to his left leg. The severity of his injury is unclear as the Brazilian is set to face off against Argentina on Tuesday. With Real Madrid, the forward has scored five goals with three assists in the last eight games played.

Records brace Vinicius scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-1 victory over Valencia.

Impact By recording a brace Saturday, Vinicius doubled his 2023-24 La Liga goal tally from two to four. Back on track in domestic-league action after a three-game scoring drought, he will look to continue his positive momentum after the international break, beginning from Real Madrid's game Nov. 26 at Cadiz. There is a chance Vinicius enhances or worsens his positive momentum competing for Brazil during the break.

It is the perfect time for him to find his form, as he and Real Madrid take on Barcelona in El Clasico Saturday.
