Vinicius Jr is set to miss Real Madrid’s upcoming local derby against Atletico Madrid in La Liga on September 24 after picking up a thigh injury during his team’s 1-0 win over Celta Vigo on Friday night. The 23-year-old is set to miss a total of eight games for Los Blancos, sources familiar with the matter have claimed.

“Following tests carried out on Vini. Jr by the Real Madrid Medical Services, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to the right biceps femoris muscle,” Real Madrid confirmed in a statement on Monday. “His progress will be monitored.” This is the first muscular injury that the Brazilian has suffered throughout his senior career.

In addition to missing six La Liga games as well as Real Madrid’s first two Champions League fixtures, Vinicius will also be absent from the Brazilian national team during September’s international break. He will consequently miss Brazil’s World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti dismissed claims that Madrid may need to seek reinforcements before the transfer deadline in order to fill in for Vinicius. He expressed his belief that Real Madrid has enough firepower up front without the Brazilian.

Despite numerous transfer rumors surrounding James Rodriguez last summer, the Colombian international remained with Real Madrid. However, it appears that this was only because the La Liga giants didn’t want to let him leave for a competitor.

In a recent interview with Colombian media outlet Gol Caracol, Rodriguez admitted that he was close to leaving Santiago Bernabeu before the start of the season. The 28-year-old agreed to terms and thought the move was all set before Real stepped in.

“There was a very good proposal from a Spanish team, which Real Madrid rejected. I’d prefer not to say the name of the team,” said Rodriguez. “I thought it was a done deal, but they didn’t let me go to the club I wanted to join. They wanted me to go to another team.”

According to recent reports, the Spanish team Rodriguez is referencing could be Atletico Madrid. 

Rodriguez added that there were also offers for him from Italy and China, but that he didn’t want to go there and ended up staying put. He ended up playing 14 games in all competitions in 2019/20, contributing with one goal and two assists.

James Rodriguez joined Real Madrid in 2014 after a spectacular performance in the FIFA World Cup during which he earned the Golden Boot award as the tournament’s top goalscorer. Rodriguez had a promising first season in Spain but ultimately failed to meet the big expectations laid in front of him.

After two mediocre seasons, Rodriguez was sent to Bayern Munich on a two-year-long loan. Although he hoped to resurrect his career with this move, he ended up struggling in Germany as well. Rodriguez played 67 games and scored only 15 goals over the course of his stint with Bundesliga giants.

David Beckham is reportedly working with his old club Real Madrid in order to secure a major transfer for his MLS club Inter Miami. According to Goal, Beckham reached out to Real’s president Florentino Perez with the intention to make a move for Colombian star attacker James Rodriguez.

Rodriguez hasn’t been in Real’s plans for some time now, spending previous seasons on loan with Bayern Munich. After Bayern declined to make a permanent move, the 28-year-old returned to Madrid where he only made seven appearances in 2019/20 La Liga season.

Real would reportedly be willing to do business with Miami, considering that Rodriguez has just one year left on his deal and could walk for free next summer. Inter, on the other hand, previously failed to bring in a high-profile player for their inaugural MLS season and are now trying to make amends.

Beckham, who owns Inter Miami and is the club’s current president, is also in touch with James Rodriguez’s representatives in order to see whether the player is interested in MLS move. Reportedly, a firm offer is yet to be made.

While Rodriguez’s arrival in MLS would be a huge thing for US soccer, it would be a surprise if the move goes through. He is still in his prime, and a number of big European clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, and Everton are interested in his services. But, it is okay to dream, right?

Real Madrid and Colombia national team midfielder James Rodriguez has been diagnosed with a knee sprain and is expected to miss the next three to six weeks of action.

Rodriguez suffered the injury last Thursday while with the Colombia national team in the squad’s preparation for a friendly match against Peru, returning afterward to Madrid for testing.

It’s a disappointing development for Los Blancos, who held Rodriguez out of action since October 22nd due to a different leg injury. He was finally allowed to play with his national team, but it didn’t take long for him to fall victim to another injury.

He had shown some promising details during his first few games back with the massive Spanish club after a couple of years on loan with Bayern Munich. He’ll now have to wait for a bit to get back on the pitch, however.

Rodriguez scored 1 goal and provided 1 assist in 9 competitive matches this season for Real Madrid. He played in about half of his club team’s games.

The 29-year-old is expected to miss a minimum of three weeks with his injury. Depending on how the recovery process goes, he could be out until at least January.

After spending the past two seasons on loan at Bayern Munich, it appears that attacking midfielder James Rodríguez is set to stay at Real Madrid for the 2019-20 season.

Los Blancos have apparently made the decision to keep James due to the serious knee injury suffered by Marco Asensio earlier in the preseason. While the club’s original plans included the sale of Rodríguez during the summer window, it now appears that they will need to keep him around at least until next summer.

The move is especially surprising after coach Zinedine Zidane’s public comments about Real Madrid’s desire to move away from James. Despite scoring 28 goals in only 77 career matches with the club, many feel that he hasn’t lived up to the hype after his signing in 2014.

Rodríguez has found a home in Germany over the past two seasons, where he’s been a key part of a Bayern Munich squad that has won the Bundesliga in both of James’s seasons there.

It now appears that James will have a second lease on life at the Santiago Bernabéu, whether the club’s current coach likes it or not. It might be James’ last chance to impress with the club, or else he could be sent elsewhere in the near future.
