Vinicius, who played the full length of their 3-0 win against Leganes on Sunday, teed up Kylian Mbappe for Madrid’s opener. He suffered the injury at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
Vinicius is expected to be out for at least a month, which means he will miss their trip to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
The Brazil international has 12 goals and six assists in 17 matches for Los Blancos this season, including eight goals and five assists in La Liga, where they sit in second place, four points behind leaders Barcelona.
