LaLiga: Vinicius loses spot in Real Madrid team, no longer first choice under Mourinho

Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid will no longer automatically secure a spot in the starting lineup, according to reports from AS. The Brazilian forward is reportedly aware of this recent development and has accepted it without resentment.

This season, Vinicius has struggled to find his scoring touch, netting just one goal across all competitions. Meanwhile, Yan Diomande has taken advantage of Vinicius’ absence due to a three-match suspension by contributing with goals and assists, complicating head coach José Mourinho’s decision-making about the starting roster.

Mourinho indicated that he is prepared to assist Vinicius in regaining his form; however, he will not promise the winger a guaranteed place in the starting XI.
