Real Madrid could lose Vinicius for a month

Just as Vinicius was beginning to establish himself on the fringes of the team, Madrid are preparing themselves for the Brazilian being away from the club during January, with his age group team taking part in the South American cup.

It is highly probable that the former Flamengo man will be called up for the tournament, as well as Rodrygo who will join up with Real in the January transfer window. 

'AS' report that if Brazil go the distance in the tournament, Vinicius and Rodrygo will be away for around 40 days. This doesn't seem unlikely with the team containing the two hot prospects.

The two have recently been pictured together in the latest international break with Brazil's under-21s. Fans of 'los blancos' will be glad to see their two future stars coming together and demonstrating that they have a good relationship,

In recent times, Julen Lopetegui has started to use Vinicius more and more. In the first weeks of the season he only turned out with the 'Castilla' second team, but now he is entering the first team equation.
