Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has suffered a hamstring injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg, sustained during Sunday's 3-0 victory over Leganés. The Brazilian international, who is the club's top scorer, is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks, ruling him out of crucial fixtures including Wednesday's UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield, as well as domestic matches against Getafe, Athletic Club, Girona, Atalanta, and Rayo Vallecano. Vinicius expressed frustration on social media, calling it "The crazy calendar." This injury adds to Real Madrid's growing list of absentees, which includes Rodrygo, Lucas Vázquez, Aurelien Tchouaméni, Éder Militão, Dani Carvajal, and David Alaba.
