Spanish newspaper "AS" said that the attacking arsenal that Real Madrid will rely on near the penalty area is still incomplete and needs more time.
It reported that Vinicius is physically ready more than Mbappe, and Diomande needs time to integrate with the team and get to know new teammates he did not know before, while Bellingham only had his first training session yesterday, Wednesday.
It pointed out that Vinicius is gradually regaining his fitness, but his vitality and activity are still significantly lacking before the first La Liga match in just 9 days.
"AS" concluded that achieving harmony and cohesion among the team's stars within the 4-2-3-1 formation that Mourinho will follow will take some time, and for this reason, the role falls on Vinicius to lead the attack against Espanyol.
