Vinicius Junior got off injured and was subbed off just 27 minutes into Brazil’s game against Colombia.
Medical staff had to place a cumbersome ice bandage on his thigh, and he has since returned to Madrid.
Vinicius will be out for at least 6 weeks, and will miss Brazil’s crucial game against Argentina.
Rodrygo has called it a sad experience, and has vowed to put in a top performance against Argentina.
“This game will be one of my most important for Brazil. We’re all sad over Vinicius’ injury and I think there will be more expected from me,” Rodrygo said.
Rodrygo has become an important player for Brazil, and has scored just four goals in 19 appearances for his country so far.
