THE BIGGER PICTURE
To make things worse for Carlo Ancelotti's side, whose title hopes now hang by a thread, star winger Vinicius Jr picked up an ankle injury and had to be substituted in the 88th minute as Victor Munoz replaced the Brazilian. Now, journalist reports that the 24-year-old underwent the first set of tests on his injured ankle, and it showed a Grade 2 sprain. Martin further claimed that it is unlikely that the star player would make it to the club's matchday squad against Mallorca on Wednesday.
