Real Madrid lose Vinicius Junior suspension appeal as Barcelona clash looms
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readReal Madrid have failed in their appeal against Vinicius Junior’s four-match suspension, leaving the Brazilian forward set to miss the first El Clasico of the season against Barcelona.
The Spanish Football Federation’s (RFEF) appeals committee has upheld the punishment imposed following Vinicius’s dismissal during Madrid’s La Liga encounter with Villarreal last weekend. The 26-year-old received a red card for pulling an opponent’s hair, with his subsequent reaction towards the referee resulting in an additional sanction.
Vinicius was handed a two-match suspension for the incident itself and another two games for his conduct after being dismissed. Madrid challenged the decision, but the disciplinary authorities maintained that the available footage supported the referee’s account.
