After a hamstring injury, Vinicius Junior expresses frustration with the football schedule.

Vinicius Junior, a Real Madrid winger, hasn't been hesitant about pointing the finger at who he believes is to blame for a hamstring injury that will keep him out for the rest of 2024.

Vinicius played 90 minutes of Madrid's La Liga victory over Leganes on Sunday evening. However, Carlo Ancelotti chose to play him centrally in a swap with Kylian Mbappe, as he was already exhausted after traveling to and from South America during the international break.

Vinicius sustained a hamstring injury, the club confirmed on Monday. Although no official recuperation timeline was provided, Spanish reports promptly estimated his absence at one month. That means he is unlikely to return before the winter break over the Christmas season.

Vinicius used X, formerly Twitter, to express his thoughts on Madrid's upcoming absence.

"The crazy calendar," he explained, adding, "TO RECOVER!"

Elite players have increasingly expressed worries about packed fixture schedules, the quantity of games played, and travel commitments in terms of fitness and wellbeing.


Rodri had commented about the enormous physical expectations placed on top athletes just a few days before suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury that would sideline him indefinitely. The Spanish midfielder arrived on crutches at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in October, but he expects to be back in time for the newly designed 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which extends the club season into mid-July.

Dani Carvajal, Madrid's vice captain, sustained his own ACL injury shortly afterwards. Eder Militao treated people cruelly for the second time in less than a year. David Alaba is still healing from a similar injury that occurred little over 11 months ago.

This season, the Champions League was enlarged to include two more games in the new 'league phase', which replaced the traditional group stage. An extra two-legged knockout round has been added for clubs finishing ninth to 24th in the rankings.

Madrid will also fly to Qatar next month to compete in the final of the new FIFA Intercontinental Cup, a mini-tournament that has replaced the now-defunct December Club World Cup. However, Vinicius will miss the game because he has been ruled out.

Canada's confident performance led to a historic away victory over the USA.

On Saturday, two North American rivals met, and Canada defeated the United States 2-1. One team was still riding high off their fourth-place result at Copa América 2024, while the other was a blend of young talent attempting to discover their identity under an interim coach. With such a significant contrast in confidence, the visiting Canucks defeated the Stars and Stripes on their home turf for only the second time in history. Canada dominated the first half, with 11 shots to one, and the first of two blunders resulted in the opening goal. A turnover gave the ball to Jonathan David, who sent it wide to Jacob Shaffelburg. The 'Maritime Messi' blasted with his left foot into the far right corner, beyond goalkeeper Patrick Schulte. 23 - Canada defeats the United States Men's National Team on American territory for the second time, and the first since 1957. The victory stops the USMNT's 23-game home unbeaten streak against Canada, the longest against any opponent in team h...
