Real Madrid caretaker Solari coy over Vinicius start against Valladolid

Real Madrid caretaker coach Santiago Solari has named Vinicius Junior in his squad for the clash Real Valladolid.

Vinicius made his full debut in the Copa win at Melilla.

Solari said, “He's a member of the squad and every player in any squad, other than those who are injured, could be in the starting eleven. They're all great, although with a range of CVs. Each one brings certain strengths and that's what makes a team.

“I'm fairly removed from what's going out outside, but it's fairly straightforward: he needs time, and minutes on the pitch. Skill and experience come together to make a footballer and to gain that experience, you have to play games. It's a combination of these things and a very usual process in a young guy who's just come in at 18 years old and has such talent."
