Vinícius was forced off the pitch in the second half due to a suspected muscle injury

Vinícius Júnior was named Man of the Match in Brazil’s 1–0 victory over Paraguay — a result that sealed qualification for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Real Madrid winger scored the only goal of the game, continuing his electric form for both club and country.

But the night ended on a worrying note, as Vinícius was forced off the pitch in the second half due to a suspected muscle injury.

According to the Brazilian national team medical staff, the 23-year-old experienced discomfort in the biceps femoris muscle of his left thigh — commonly associated with hamstring issues.

While Vinícius reportedly wanted to continue, head coach Carlo Ancelotti made the decision to substitute him as a precaution, choosing not to take any unnecessary risks with one of his most explosive talents.

The positive news for Madrid fans is that the club’s opening fixture in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup 2025 is still a week away, giving Vinícius a crucial window for recovery.

Further medical tests are expected in the next 48 hours to assess the extent of the issue, but early signs suggest the injury may not be serious.
