Vinicius Junior is all set to take on Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final in Jeddah tomorrow.
The Brazilian international has received an update on his suspension in La Liga while he was handed a two-match ban in Saudi Arabia.
However, the expulsion only applies to Real Madrid's La Liga matches and he will serve it upon his return to Spain next week.
He completed 88 minutes in a controversial 3-0 Super Cup semi-final win over Mallorca and number 7 Los Blancos will start against their El Clasico rivals.
Vinicius Jr scored a hat-trick as Real Madrid cruised past Barcelona in the 2024 final and La Blaugrana boss Hansi Flick is happy to have him available.
'It's not my decision. It's good to have him in the Super Cup. Everyone wants to see the best players in these matches,” said Marca.
In total, Vinicius has scored four goals in his last three games against Barcelona, but has failed to score in Flick's only El Clasico appearance so far – via a 4-0 win in Madrid in October.
