Carvajal plays down Vinicius Junior concerns after difficult start

Published on: 28 October 2026

Former Real Madrid footballer Dani Carvajal has played down concerns surrounding Vinicius Junior, saying the Brazil winger’s current difficulties are not unprecedented.

Vinicius has endured a difficult start to the season and was recently handed a four-match La Liga suspension after being sent off during Real Madrid’s match against Villarreal.

Carvajal, who was asked about the winger’s situation, said: “It has been worse.”

Real Madrid will return to action on 1 November, when they travel to face Racing.
