Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior has recorded a personal video for Zaher, a 13-year-old Sudanese boy who lost both legs in a drone strike in Khartoum in 2024. After an online appeal raised £45,000, Zaher had surgery and months of rehabilitation in Cairo and now walks on prosthetic legs. In the heartfelt message, his football hero personally invited him to watch a Madrid game together.
