Vinícius Junior has been handed a four‑game ban for his sending‑off in Real Madrid’s LaLiga victory over Villarreal.
The Brazilian forward was dismissed during the match, and the disciplinary panel has ruled that he will miss the next four league fixtures.
As a result, Junior will be unavailable for this month’s Clásico against Barcelona, one of the most high‑profile fixtures in Spanish football.
The decision comes after the Real Madrid side secured a win over Villarreal, but the loss of their star winger will be felt in the squad’s attacking options.
Junior’s suspension will see him out of action for the remainder of the current season’s schedule, including the upcoming clash with Barcelona.
