Vinicius Jr. will be present in the next two games of the Brazilian team. Roberto Firmino was found to have a muscle injury in the posterior region of the left thigh and will not be available to coach Tite.
This Thursday morning, Rodrigo Lasmar, team doctor, received information from Liverpool’s medical department and informed the coaching staff that Firmino’s injury prevents him from participating in training sessions and games in the coming weeks.
Despite the good moment, Vini Jr. had been left out of Tite’s list and the choice of the commander had repercussions on social networks. In an interview with Tnt Sports, the Real Madrid striker regretted the absence, but reinforced the focus on new good performances.
“We get sad, we always want to be among the best in the national team. Tite, who is a great coach, makes his choices and chose to stay at home at this time. I believe I have to work harder, play better games. Even though I’m doing well, I know that Brazil is very difficult, they have a lot of players,” he said.
“Respecting everyone, I want to be there, I want to play, to be more important in the club and in the national team. I know that the right moment will come. The national team is always well served by great players. I hope to play well this month, as in January I already have another summons,” he completed.
