In preparation for his three-match suspension after being sent off against Valencia over the weekend, Vinicius Jnr did not participate in Tuesday's Real Madrid team workout.
The Brazilian received a straight red card in Sunday's 1-0 loss for Madrid at the Mestalla, where he also encountered racial taunts from the home crowd.
He engaged in a fight with Hugo Duro in extra time after receiving the foul chants throughout the game and, although seeming to be in a headlock, was ultimately dismissed for slapping the Valencia striker.
Vinicius, who has endured several previous incidents of racist abuse from supporters this season, was obviously agitated as he left the field after being targeted once again. Later, he blasted LaLiga and the Spanish football authorities on social media for their failure to take appropriate action.
In addition, Vinicius said that he has faced 'inhuman' death threats from rival supporters while playing for Madrid this year. Madrid has filed a lawsuit for 'hate crime' at the Mestalla. Three "young people" have also been detained, according to Spanish police, for "racist behavior" that was seen during Sunday's game.
