Vinicius now faces a nervous wait for the ruling of the disciplinary committee, which could see him miss Real’s fixture with rivals Barcelona on October 25 at Camp Nou.
Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has apologized to his teammates and fans following his red card in a 1-0 La Liga win over Villarreal. The Brazilian came on as a substitute in the 52nd minute but was sent off 20 minutes later after a VAR review showed him pulling the hair of Nathan Saliba in the build-up to a disallowed goal.
Under Spanish Football Federation regulations, the hair pull is classified as violent conduct, carrying a potential ban of one to three matches. Real Madrid faces a nervous wait for the disciplinary committee's decision, which could cause the 26-year-old forward to miss the upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25.
