Vinícius Júnior faces suspension ahead of El Clásico
Vinícius Júnior, a forward for Real Madrid, is set to potentially miss the El Clásico against Barcelona on October 25, 2026, following a controversial red card received during a La Liga match against Villarreal on October 10. The 26-year-old was sent off after VAR reviewed an incident where he pulled the hair of Villarreal defender Nathan Saliba.
His goal was disallowed, and he received a straight red card. Reports indicate that Vinícius could face a suspension of two to three matches due to the incident being classified as potentially violent conduct.
This suspension could prevent him from participating in the crucial match against Barcelona at Camp Nou. Vinícius has apologized to his teammates and Real Madrid supporters, but his availability for upcoming fixtures will depend on the disciplinary committee's ruling.
Real Madrid may appeal the suspension to ensure he can play in the highly anticipated rivalry.
