Vinicius Junior Sent Off for Hair-Pulling, Faces Possible Suspension Ahead of El Clasico
Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior received a straight red card for pulling Villarreal defender Nathan Saliba's hair during a La Liga match on October 10. The incident led to a disallowed goal and left Madrid to defend a 1-0 lead with 10 men. Vinicius apologized publicly and now faces a potential suspension that could rule him out of the October 25 El Clasico against Barcelona. The final disciplinary decision depends on the committee's review of the referee's report.
