Vinicius, suspended until mid-November, returns to play in the Champions League against AEK Athens. His recent performance has been underwhelming, prompting concerns from the coaching staff. Mourinho has suggested changes to Vinicius's routines to improve his physical condition. The club hopes he can use this suspension to regain form before returning to La Liga against Celta. Diomande's rise has complicated Vinicius's position, as he has struggled to match his previous performance levels. The team anticipates a positive change following his training during the suspension.
