Vinícius Júnior was omitted from the Real Madrid team to play Real Oviedo in LaLiga by coach Xabi Alonso on Sunday, with Trent Alexander-Arnold also missing out.

Ballon d'Or runner-up Vinícius failed to impress in Madrid's opening game of the season against Osasuna earlier this week, and ESPN has reported that talks over a new contract for the forward are currently stalled.

For Sunday's game, Vinicius was replaced by fellow Brazil international Rodrygo -- who has been frequently linked with a move away from Madrid this summer -- while captain Dani Carvajal was favoured over new arrival Alexander-Arnold.

Franco Mastantuono , 18, also made his first start for the club, ten days after being presented as a Madrid player.
