Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho reportedly maintains confidence that winger Vinicius Junior can rediscover his form following a difficult start to the season. The Brazilian forward has experienced an on-pitch slump as Real Madrid finds itself trailing league leaders Barcelona by six points heading into the international break.

Despite outside criticism and calls regarding his place in the starting lineup, Vinicius is said to retain strong relationships within the dressing room. Carlo Ancelotti has also publicly defended the 26-year-old, insisting his quality remains undeniable as the forward aims to recover his best level.
