Vinicius Jr Injured After Barcelona Loss as Madrid’s Title Hopes Fade
Real Madrid have confirmed that star forward Vinicius Junior has picked up an ankle injury following their 4-3 loss to Barcelona in El Clasico.
The Brazilian had to leave the pitch during the heated clash on Sunday, and the club has now revealed he’s dealing with a sprain in his left ankle. However, they didn’t provide a timeline for his return. “Medical tests have confirmed a sprained left ankle. His recovery is still being evaluated,” the club said in a brief update.
This comes as another blow for Madrid, who were already reeling from the painful defeat that may have dashed their La Liga title hopes. With only three matches remaining and a seven-point gap behind Barcelona, losing Vinicius at such a critical moment only adds to the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
