Real Madrid is bracing for the absence of Vinicius Junior, who received his fifth booking of the season, rendering him ineligible for the next month's action.
The Brazilian forward incurred a yellow card from referee Juan MartÃnez Munuera during Real Madrid's recent triumph over Osasuna. This caution came in the 44th minute of the match, as Vinicius was penalized for dissenting against a decision made by the match official. With this being his fifth yellow card in LaLiga this season, Vinicius has triggered an automatic one-match suspension, completing a cycle of disciplinary actions.
Despite contributing two goals to Real Madrid's victory against Osasuna, Vinicius's absence is imminent, coinciding with the FIFA International break following the weekend's fixtures. During this hiatus, Vinicius is slated to join the Brazilian national team for two friendly matches: first against England at Wembley Stadium on 23rd March, followed by a clash with Spain three days later.
Consequently, Vinicius will sit out Real Madrid's upcoming league fixture at home against Athletic Club on 31st March, serving his suspension when domestic football resumes. This absence poses a significant setback for Real Madrid, depriving them of Vinicius's attacking prowess for a crucial period.
