Despite his brilliance in the Osasuna match, Real Madrid will lose Vinicius Junior for nearly a month, and this time not due to injury.
The Brazilian international scored the opening goal for the Royal Club, before receiving a yellow card in the final moments of the first half.
Because of this card, Vinicius will miss Real Madrid’s next match in La Liga, which is scheduled to be against Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu after returning from the international break.
Starting next Monday, Vinicius will move to the Brazilian national team camp, during which the Seleção will play two friendly matches against England at Wembley and Spain at the Santiago Bernabeu.
After that, he will return to Real Madrid, but he will not participate against Bilbao due to suspension. The Spanish League will then stop for a week to play the King’s Cup final, so that Vinicius’ return to the field with his club will be April 9, when he faces Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
It is noteworthy that this period of rest may be very positive for the 23-year-old after the intense matches in the last two months, which will give him an opportunity to recover and prepare well for the Manchester City summit.
