A high-profile suspension has left a key player sidelined for one of football’s biggest fixtures, after being handed a four-match ban for a serious on-field incident during a recent La Liga clash. The decision follows an altercation involving a tackle and a deliberate hair-pulling moment, which officials deemed a deliberate act of aggression. With the player now ineligible for the October 25 El Clásico, the matchup between Spain’s top rivals takes on added intrigue as teams adjust their tactics without his influence. Fans and pundits will be watching closely to see how his absence reshapes the contest.
Vinicius will miss El Clasico on October 25 in his four-match ban for pulling Saliba's hair in La Liga.
