The injury to the 23-year-old is the latest frustration for Los Blancos and their bid to reclaim the league title from Barcelona.
Real has already lost experienced players like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and Eder Militao to injuries this season and Karim Benzema to a free transfer.
Ancelotti rules out replacements
While the LALIGA giants have already replaced Courtios following his anterior cruciate ligament damage, the manager of the side, Ancelotti, has ruled out the chances of signing more players.
Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga has come in on a season-long loan but according to comments attributed to Ancelotti, Los Blancos are complete without Vinicius, Benzema and Courtios.
"Vinicius injury will not force us to sign players,” Ancelotti said per a post from Fabrizio Romano.

KariGO — Real Madrid legend Benzema told he does not fit at Al-Ittihad by ex-Wolves boss
Karim Benzema is reportedly unhappy at his new Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad following a disagreement with his coach, Nuno Espirito Santo.
“The team is complete. We can win without Vinicius, Benzema, Courtois, Militão,” he added.
"No signings? Our attack is complete. The numbers speak for themselves. We are scoring goals without Benzema and Vinicius.”
Joselu assisted man of the moment, Jude Bellingham, who scored the winner against Celta to give Real a third win of the season in as many matches.
Real Madrid now sit pretty at the top of the LALIGA table with nine points from a possible nine, three ahead of Rayo Vallecano and Valencia in second and third place respectively.
Fans react
Before the game against Celta, the Italian manager made it clear that Bellingham's ability had covered up for the absence of Benzema.
"Bellingham's arrival is believed to cover the absence of Karim Benzema.," he noted. "He is a serious, mature and high-quality lad. What he does is not surprising to us who know him."
However, Ancelotti's latest statements have not gone down well with Real Madrid fans, who took to Romano's post to make their feelings known
For the fans, Bellingham is the only player hitting the back of the net at the moment and they can sense danger if the club does not add more firepower.
