Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has reportedly told teammates that his recent dip in performance is linked to fitness issues, according to AS.
The management of Los Blancos is understanding of the Brazilian’s situation. However, they are concerned that the team’s overall poor form is negatively impacting their results. Vinicius remains calm and believes that "everything will change" once he regains his optimal physical condition.
In the 2025-26 season, Vinicius has played 22 matches across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing seven assists. He has been with Real Madrid since 2018, winning the Champions League twice and La Liga three times.
