Vinicius Junior officially suspended for 4 matches and will miss the Clasico

Spain's disciplinary committee has suspended Brazilian Vinicius Junior, star of Real Madrid, for 4 matches following his red card during the recent match against Villarreal in LaLiga.

The punishment came after Vinicius Junior pulled Nathan Saliba's hair during the match that ended with Real Madrid winning by a goal to nil, before he received a red card following a video review.

According to Spanish newspaper "AS", the player received two penalties due to the incident, two matches for his behavior towards the opponent, and an additional two matches for his protests and actions following the red card.

As a result, the Brazilian star will be absent from Real Madrid's matches against Sevilla, FC Barcelona, Racing Santander, and Valencia, depriving the team of one of its key attacking players during this period.

The punishment is a significant blow for Real Madrid, especially as Vinicius will miss the upcoming Clasico against FC Barcelona on October 25.

Real Madrid is expected to assess its position regarding the ban and the possibility of appealing it, in an attempt to reduce the suspension period and regain the services of the player as soon as possible.
