Will Vinicius Jr Play Tonight in Girona vs Real Madrid La Liga 2024–25 Match? Here's the Possibility of Brazilian Star Featuring in Starting XI
Vinicius Jr has joined the long injury list of Real Madrid recently. Not having his offensive skills in the arsenal, makes Real Madrid a much less potent side. With them taking on Girona in the next encounter, fans are eager to know whether Vinicius Jr is fit and will feature in the next match against Girona.
Real Madrid are not having the best of times in the ongoing 2024-25 season. They have had a dismal run in the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 and in the last gameweek of the La Liga 2024-25, Real Madrid had the chance to go over arch-rivals Barcelona but they committed silly mistakes to lose against Athletic Bilbao. They are now four points behind Barcelona with a game in hand. Coach Carlo Ancelotti has not been able to operate his team in their optimum potential even with the plethora of world class talents like Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr up his sleeves. Even with the support of midfielders like Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde the attack has really not stepped up on the occasion.

Another major problem for the Los Blancos has been regular injuries. Eder Militao has been recently hit with an ACL injury and so has been the case for Dani Carvajal. With the likes of David Alaba already out of action, this has pushed the defensive depth too thin for them. Vinicius Jr has also joined the injury list recently. Not having his offensive skills in the arsenal, makes Real Madrid a much less potent side. With them taking on Girona in the next encounter, fans are eager to know whether Vinicius Jr is fit and will feature in the next match against Girona.
