Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho is considering removing Vinicius Junior from the starting lineup following the international break, reports Marca. The Brazilian winger has come under scrutiny as Mourinho appears to be running out of patience with him. Despite Vinicius Jr. being linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer, he ultimately signed a new contract with Real Madrid.
However, the 26-year-old has struggled with a poor start to the new season, netting only one goal in eight appearances. This trend continued during the weekend's match against Atletico Madrid, where Mourinho substituted Vinicius Jr. in the 54th minute. This marked the fourth consecutive game where the winger was removed from the team, following his exits against Inter Milan, Rayo Vallecano, and Elche.
With Real Madrid currently trailing Barcelona by five points in the LaLiga title race, Mourinho's demands for improvement have increased. Now, Vinicius Jr. must fight hard to reclaim his position in the starting lineup.
