Carlo Ancelotti delivered some much-needed good news about Vinícius Júnior's status ahead of Real Madrid's final stretch of games before the new year.
Vinícius Júnior sustained an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg against Leganes back on Nov. 24 and was expected to be out for up to a month. The winger already missed three games for Real Madrid and his team only managed to collect points in one of those fixtures.
On the eve of Real Madrid's upcoming La Liga match against Girona, Ancelotti sat down for his pre-match press conference and revealed a major injury boost coming Los Blancos' way.
"We’re encouraged to see Vini, who has recovered very well from his injury," Ancelotti said. "He won’t play [against Girona], but he’ll be ready for the next Champions League match."
