(Reuters) - Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr. could return for this weekend's LaLiga clash against Atletico Madrid, manager Carlo Ancelotti said on Saturday.

The 23-year-old has not played for Real since suffering a thigh muscle injury during a 1-0 win at Celta Vigo last month. He also missed Brazil's 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.
