Real Madrid are reportedly concerned about Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior’s performances at the start of the new season.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing “The Touchline,” reports that the 26-year-old’s form has declined significantly since he signed a new contract. Vinicius has scored just one goal in the first eight matches of the season.
Vinicius could be dropped to the bench
Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho has made it clear that no player is guaranteed a place in the starting lineup. As a result, Vinicius could be left on the bench in the near future.
Real Madrid fourth in La Liga
After seven rounds of the Spanish La Liga season, Real Madrid sit fourth in the standings with 15 points.
Vinicius has established himself as one of Real Madrid’s key attacking players in recent seasons, making his early-season form a focus of attention as the club seeks to challenge for domestic and European honors.
