Real Madrid superstar dealing with some physical problems, but will face Man City

Real Madrid will be playing their biggest match of the 2022/23 season to date when they take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday.

Heading into the game, manager Carlo Ancelotti has called up all his players for the trip to Manchester. Eduardo Camavinga, who picked up an injury against Getafe over the weekend, has been named on the list and is expected to be fit and ready for the game.

Now, journalist Ramon Alvarez has come forward with a slightly worrying update on Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr. As per the reporter, the Brazilian winger is dealing with some physical problems heading into tomorrow’s game against Manchester City.

However, despite the issues, the 22-year-old explosive forward is expected to face Pep Guardiola’s men at the Etihad Stadium.

Vinicius has been the most important player for Real Madrid this season. The winger has amassed a tally of 23 goals and 21 assists from 52 games in all competitions this term, firmly establishing himself as one of the best attackers in the world currently.

The Brazilian international’s fitness levels are exceptional and he has not missed a single match due to injury since 2019 when he had ruptured a ligament. He was rested for the match against Cadiz last month due to some overload, but there was no injury.

Heading into a huge match against an opponent like Manchester City, it is pivotal for Real Madrid to have all their best players fit and firing.

So, Carlo Ancelotti & co. will be hoping that Vinicius’ physical problem does not grow into a major concern over the next 24 hours or so.

After all, the 22-year-old was Los Blancos’ best player on the pitch during the first leg against the Cityzens last week at the Santiago Bernabeu.
