Vinícius Júnior Gets Four-Match Ban After Hair-Pulling Red Card, Will Miss El Clásico

Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior pulled Villarreal player Nathan Saliba by the hair and was sent off in Saturday's La Liga match. The Brazilian has now been handed a four-match ban.

Vinícius Júnior reacted angrily to the referee when the red card was shown. The Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee has handed the Real Madrid player a two-match suspension for protesting and a further two-match ban for pulling an opponent's hair.

The four-match suspension means he will miss, among other games, "El Clásico" against Barcelona at Camp Nou on October 25.
