Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr got off injured in the 1-0 win against Celta Vigo.

The Brazilian was subbed off early in the first half, due to a hamstring injury.

It was reported after the game that it was only a slight problem, and the 23-year-old will be back after the international break.

According to a new report from Diario AS, Vinicius Jr has suffered a muscle tear, and will be out for longer than expected.

Vinicius was initially expected to miss only the game against Getafe. However, the report claims that the injury seems serious than initially thought, and may rule Vinicius out for up to six weeks.

Vinicius is expected to be out until the first week of October.
