The Spanish Football Federation suspended Real Madrid's forward after a hair-pulling red card against Villarreal, ruling him out of the October 25th meeting with Barcelona.
Vinicius Junior is out for four LaLiga games after his red card in Real Madrid's win over Villarreal, and that stretch covers the Clasico against Barcelona on October 25th.
The Spanish Football Federation's ruling cited a two-game suspension for violent conduct away from the play, with no chance of contesting the ball or during a stoppage, along with additional penalty or penalties attached to the incident, which stemmed from a hair-pulling altercation.
Real Madrid have indicated they plan to appeal the sanction, so the timeline is not necessarily final. For now, though, the club's plans for the Clasico will have to go on without one of its most dangerous attackers, a notable absence given the magnitude of the fixture on the calendar.
Nothing further has been detailed about the appeal process or when a decision might come down.
