New crisis threatens Vinicius' participation against Barcelona

Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian star of Real Madrid, faces the risk of missing the upcoming clash against FC Barcelona on October 25, as he awaits a decision from the disciplinary committee regarding the punishment stemming from his red card against Villarreal. There are also reports of an additional incident that could complicate his situation further.

The crisis stems from the match where Vinicius Junior was sent off after pulling the hair of his opponent Nathan Saliba, before reports emerged accusing him of pushing a LaLiga employee after leaving the pitch. This could open the door for additional penalties if the incident is officially confirmed.

In light of these developments, Real Madrid are preparing to appeal the upcoming decision, seeking to reduce the player's absence, especially with the important match against FC Barcelona approaching, which represents a key moment in the team's journey in LaLiga.

According to the Spanish program «El Chiringuito», Real Madrid officials believe the punishment could range from a one-match ban to three matches, pending the official decision from the disciplinary committee in the coming period.

Vinicius Junior has apologised to his Real Madrid teammates after receiving a red card, while the club awaits a final decision on the length of his suspension to understand how the punishment will affect the coaching staff's options in upcoming matches.

The participation of Brazilian star Vinicius Junior against FC Barcelona remains tied to the final disciplinary decision, as Real Madrid seeks to avoid losing one of their key attacking players in the Clasico.
