Champions League: Vinicius To Start Against Leipzig Even As Mourinho Says No Player Is Indispensable (Ld)

By IANS News October 20, 2026 • 21:26 PM View: 22

Vinicius Junior: Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho confirmed on Tuesday that Vinicius Junior will start Wednesday's Champions League home match against RB Leipzig, but insisted that no player was guaranteed a place in his lineup.

Vinicius missed Sunday's La Liga win over Sevilla through suspension and will also sit out this weekend's Clasico away to Barcelona and two subsequent league matches as he serves a four-game ban following his sending-off against Villarreal.
