Real Madrid will be told today how long Vinicius Junior will be suspended, but it is expected that the Brazilian will escape with the lowest possible sanction from the Competition Commission.
The Brazilian was involved in the last half hour of their Copa del Rey match against Deportiva Minera as the RFEF did not meet on Monday but handed out a suspension on Tuesday. Vinicius faces a two-to-four match ban for making contact with Stole Dimitrievski's face, but it appears the Competition Committee will not consider his protests following the red card.
According to Cadena SER, Vinicius will receive a suspension of at least two matches for his actions on Friday evening, which would exclude him from the Spanish Super Cup. Los Blancos play RCD Mallorca on Thursday and were due to face Athletic Club of Barcelona in the final on Sunday, but Carlo Ancelotti has said they will appeal any ban. If Real Madrid do not reach the semi-finals, Vinicius would miss the league match against Las Palmas the following week.
The issue has caused some controversy depending on which side of the divide people think about. While many in the Spanish capital feel that Vinicius was harshly sent off, or at least Ancelotti was, others have pointed out that the referee's match report describes the incident as a live play, when in fact the ball is dead was at the game. time. If it were recorded as such, Vinicius would be suspended between 4 and 12 games.
