Diario Marca asked a specialist doctor about Vinicius’ injury, the Spanish traumatologist Pedro Luis Ripoll, who analyzed Real Madrid’s medical report as follows:
“Bad news is piling up in the White House. The latest medical report that we know about Vinícius is not favorable for the player’s expectations. This is a significant injury to the biceps femoris, the worst area in which a footballer can be injured, which is the lower part (of the leg), and in addition it affects the tendon.” The specialist began to explain to the Marca TV microphones.
“When the injury is limited to the muscle fibers, its prognosis, being uncertain in the hamstrings, is usually more favorable. When it affects the tendon the prognosis is less favorable, we are talking about an injury of around three months for a complete recovery and adequate readaptation.”
In this way, if Dr. Ripoll’s diagnosis is correct, Vinicius would not set foot on a field again until the end of February or perhaps March 2024.
However, this specialist warns Merengues and Brazilian fans, since this injury is especially serious due to its possible relapses: “Because of these injuries, the main danger they have is relapse and 30% of those who suffer this type of injuries relapse. In conclusion, he will require a serious injury readaptation that must be very meticulous so he can return safely and complete the season without suffering relapses.”
