Stroppy Vinicius Jr challenges Zidane over Real Madrid post-match training

Vinicius Junior is facing disciplinary action at Real Madrid after skipping a post-match training session on Saturday.

El Confidencial says while he had 20 minutes at the end of Real's 3-0 win at Getafe, Vinicius was called on by fitness coach Gregory Dupont to take part in a session involving those players who had not participated.

Vinicius' presence was requested by coach Zinedine Zidane and after being seen in conversation with Dupont, he eventually relented and agreed to take part.

However, the winger only participated in two sprints before walking off the pitch and down the race to the dressing rooms.

Zidane is expected to take action against the youngster, as he's put greater emphasis on match fitness this season.
