O Real Madrid will have a heavy shortage for this weekend’s round of the Spanish Championship. Striker Vinícius Júnior showed signs of muscle overload and will be rested for this Saturday’s clash against Cádiz.
The Brazilian did not participate in activities on the field with his teammates this Friday. Vinícius was preserved to be physically well in time for the return match against Chelsea, which will take place on Tuesday in the Champions League quarterfinals. In last Wednesday’s duel, the winger played for all 90 minutes.
