Vinicius Returns to Brazil Training, Confirms Readiness for Croatia Clash

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. resumed full training with the Brazilian national team in Orlando, USA, on Sunday. He had missed Saturday's session due to a muscular discomfort in his thigh. Despite initial concerns surrounding his condition, medical examinations confirmed the player was free of any serious injury, clarifying that the pain he experienced after Thursday's match against France was merely minor fatigue.

Official sources confirmed that Vinicius's exclusion from previous training sessions was a precautionary measure to ensure his full recovery, as he had been limited to individual work at the sports center. In this regard, sources from the Brazilian Football Confederation reassured everyone about the young star's status. A confederation source stated, "Everything is fine," clearly indicating his readiness to rejoin the squad normally.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti is now preparing for Tuesday's friendly against Croatia with a full squad, thanks to the return of his key forward. This comeback is particularly timely, as it follows the exclusion of Roma's Wesley and Barcelona's Raphinha from the camp due to injury, and as the team seeks to bounce back from their recent 2-1 defeat to France in their last match.
