Handed four-match ban

Vinicius was handed a four-match LaLiga suspension Wednesday for his red card in Saturday's 1-0 win over Villarreal and will miss league matches against Sevilla, Barcelona, Racing Santander and Valencia. The ban comprises two matches for violent conduct and two for dissent toward the referee.

Analysis: Vinicius was sent off after VAR showed him pulling the hair of Nathan Saliba in the build-up to what would have been Real Madrid's second goal, and his protests toward referee Isidro Diaz de Mera doubled the length of the ban. The suspension covers the Clasico at Barcelona on Oct. 25, and he is in line to return to league action against Celta Vigo on Nov. 22. It applies only to LaLiga, so he remains available in the Champions League.Yan Diomande is expected to take his place on the left.

Sent off vs. Villarreal

Vinicius was sent off in Saturday's match against Villarreal.

Analysis: Vinicius was sent off shortly after his goal was disallowed after he grabbed Nathan Saliba by the hair, resulting in a straight red. The winger will miss the Oct. 18 match against Sevilla, and if the Disciplinary Committee doesn't extend the ban, he should be eligible to face Barcelona on Oct. 25 in the Superclasico. Yan Diomande should see more playing time with Vinicius sidelined.
