Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti shared after the end of the game that the Brazilian will most likely miss the next La Liga game vs. Getafe but thought that he will have him back in the squad after the international break.

Vinicius will have a scan today, as the expectations are that he would be able to play again not less than 30 days. He can miss his team next games vs. Getafe, Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid in the league, as well as Real Madrid’s Champions League opener.
