“His progress will be monitored.”
The 23-year-old Brazilian is set to miss Real’s final game before the international break at home to Getafe.
There also fears Vinicius could now be absent for Real’s league games against Real Sociedad and city rivals Atletico after the international break, as well as the start of their Champions League campaign next month.
