Real Madrid forward, Vinicius Jr is reportedly not fully fit as he is yet to recover from his recent injury, but is said to be willing to return against Atalanta.
According to AS as reported by Madrid Universal, the Brazil international star has reportedly hastened his return by ten days in order to be ready for the pivotal match in the UEFA Champions League.
Vinicius has undoubtedly been an important member of Los Blancos’ squad, particularly in crucial European games. His performances were crucial to the club’s success last season.
He scored two goals against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and scored the game-winning goal against Borussia at Wembley in the Champions League final.

He is an essential component of Carlo Ancelotti’s plans because of his capacity to perform well under pressure.
But his absence from recent games was keenly felt. During this European campaign, Madrid’s attack has been varying without him.
According to early reports, Vinicius wouldn’t return until after the Intercontinental Cup. He has been able to make an early comeback, though, because his recuperation has gone more quickly than anticipated.
Ancelotti will now have to carefully control the Brazilian’s playing time to prevent further deterioration of his condition. Although the team greatly benefits from his presence, there are risks associated with the choice to hasten his comeback.
All eyes will be on the 24-year-old as Madrid get ready for this crucial game to see if he can perform well on the big stage again in spite of his fitness level.
