After the medical tests that Vinicius Jr went trhough today, it was determined that he won’t be able to continue with Brazil for Matchday 6 of the Conmebol Qualifiers for the next World Cup.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the winger will return to Madrid today for medical attention from his club. As a result, Vini Jr. won’t be available to play in Matchday 6 for Brazil against Argentina.
