Vinicius Jr is back early for Mallorca La Liga match after two-month hamstring injury.

Real Madrid has been eagerly anticipating the return of Vinicius Junior from injury, marking a significant boost for the team ahead of their first La Liga clash of 2024 against Real Mallorca. Carlo Ancelotti’s decision to include Vinicius in the lineup for Wednesday’s match against Real Mallorca signals a positive turn of events for the Brazilian international, who has been sidelined since suffering a torn hamstring in November. Initially expected to be out of action for 10 weeks, Vinicius’s earlier-than-anticipated return will undoubtedly invigorate Los Blancos as they strive for success in 2024.

The resurgence of Vinicius presents a source of delight for Real Madrid supporters, especially as Ancelotti’s side embarks on their pursuit of silverware in the new year. Commencing the year perched at the summit of La Liga, albeit level on points with the surprise package Girona, the return of Vinicius is poised to fortify the team’s attacking prowess alongside the likes of Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo. With an impressive record of six goals and three assists in all competitions thus far, his contribution to the squad is pivotal, and his upcoming appearance against Mallorca serves as an opportunity to further augment his impactful presence on the field.

Real Madrid’s formidable unbeaten streak of 18 home games in all competitions bolsters their confidence as they prepare to face Mallorca. Should they emerge victorious in this encounter, it would match their best home run under the stewardship of Carlo Ancelotti (19 between April 2022 and February 2023), amplifying the team’s aspirations for continued success.

Looking ahead, Madrid is set to confront a Copa del Rey challenge against fourth-tier side Arandina before embarking on a journey to Saudi Arabia for the Spanish Super Cup, where they are slated to clash with neighboring rivals Atletico Madrid in the semi-final fixture. The upcoming fixtures present an opportunity for Real Madrid to further assert their dominance and strive for excellence on the domestic and international stage.
