According to a report from MARCA, it has come to light that Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. was notably absent from Brazil’s team training ahead of their crucial World Cup qualifying match against Argentina.

With the high-stakes encounter set to take place on Tuesday, Brazil held their first of three scheduled training sessions on Saturday. However, the forward did not participate in team drills alongside his teammates.

During the portion of training open to the media, Vinicius Jr. remained on the sidelines, engaging in individual exercises instead of joining the squad for ball work.

While the rest of the Brazilian players focused on tactical drills and passing routines, the Real Madrid attacker was seen running around the pitch alone.
