Great news for Brazilian fans and football lovers everywhere: Vinicius Junior (Vini Jr) has returned to training and is available for selection in Brazil’s upcoming international friendly against Croatia.
The Real Madrid superstar had caused some concern after missing the full squad session on Saturday (March 28, 2026) in Orlando. Reports indicated muscular fatigue or discomfort following Brazil’s recent defeat to France, leading to precautionary gym work and treatment instead of on-pitch training. Many wondered if he’d be fit for the clash at Camping World Stadium.
But on Sunday, March 29, reliable sources confirmed the positive update: Vini Jr is back training with the group and ready to feature against Croatia on Tuesday, March 31, 2026.

What It Means for Brazil vs Croatia
The friendly (part of “Road to ’26” preparations) just got a lot more exciting. Vini Jr brings his explosive pace, dazzling dribbling, and goal threat that make him one of the most dangerous wingers in world football.
Brazil will be looking to bounce back strongly after the loss to France, and having their talisman available gives the Seleção a huge boost in attack. Croatia, always tough and organized, will face a more potent Brazilian side with Vini potentially starting or coming off the bench to make an impact.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement—expect flair, skill, and those signature celebrations if he lights up the pitch in Orlando.
