The clash between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid left its mark. While the Whites lost Ferland Mendy, who came off injured late in the match, Vinicius also appears to have suffered greatly physically in the match, which went to penalties.
While AS Saint-Etienne announced this Friday morning that the Brazilian was absent from today’s training session and potentially doubtful for the clash against Villarreal this Saturday, Carlo Ancelotti reassured his player’s condition.
At the press conference, the Italian was naturally questioned about his star. And the Real Madrid coach justified the 24-year-old striker’s absence by saying he needed rest, confirming his presence at the Ceramica: “We gave him an extra day off because he was very tired, but he will be back against Villarreal.” “This is an important fact, as the reigning Spanish champions will absolutely have to win tomorrow to prevent FC Barcelona from potentially taking a six-point lead, as the Blaugranas have a game in hand.
