Real Madrid will be missing the services of Vinicius Junior on Thursday when they take on Liverpool in a crucial UEFA Champions League encounter at Anfield. Besides the Junior blow, Real Madrid have been struggling in the tournament with two defeats in four games and languish at the 21st position.
For Arsenal, the Gunners have gunned every opposition they have played in the Champions League so far. With three wins in five games, Arsenal are placed at seventh in the standings and a win over La Liga giants could see them join Inter Milan at 13 points in the top two. In fact, Arsenal are atop the Premier League standings too under new manager Arne Slott with a eight-point lead.
Junior's injury came in Real Madrid's 3-0 La Liga victory over Leganes and wasn't included in Real Madrid's travelling squad to Liverpool. According to medical updates, Vinicius Junior “has been diagnosed with an injury to the biceps femoris in his left leg. His progress will be monitored.”
