Vinicius puts Mourinho in a tough decision

Vinicius Junior's future in Real Madrid's starting lineup is in question as he has completed his suspension in LaLiga and is available to return. However, his recent performances leave José Mourinho with a tough decision.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo", Vinicius Junior has missed the last four matches for the team in LaLiga due to his red card against Villarreal for pulling Saliba's hair. Despite participating in the UEFA Champions League against AS Roma, RB Leipzig, and AEK Athens, his performance has raised questions about his technical condition.

During his absence, Diomande successfully filled the left winger position, and Mourinho relied on Arda Güler and Bernardo Silva, leading Real Madrid to eight consecutive victories without being affected by the absence of the Brazilian star.

Mourinho is required to determine Vinicius Junior's position before the match against Celta Vigo on November 21, whether to reinstate him in the starting lineup or keep him on the bench, despite the club and coach's desire to help him regain his best form.

The Portuguese coach emphasized that the team's interests come first, stating: "For me, the most important thing is the team, and I will never harm the team for the benefit of one player." Vinicius is aware of his decline in form and understands that he can no longer guarantee his place in Real Madrid's starting lineup.
