Vinicius Available As Real Madrid Prepare For Supercup Semifinals
Real Madrid: Real Madrid have forward Vinicius Jr available for their Spanish Supercup semifinal against Mallorca on Thursday after the Brazilian was given a two-game ban in the La Liga for his sending off against Valencia last week.
Vinicius committed a clear aggression against Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the game, and then had to be hauled down the tunnel to the dressing room as he protested the subsequent red card he was shown. However, despite aggression usually being punished with a 4-12 game suspension, a ban of just two matches will be served in the league, meaning he can take part in the showcase event.
The news means Vinicius is certain to start as Real Madrid play last season's beaten Cup finalist, with the winner to face either Athletic Bilbao or Barcelona in Sunday's final, reports Xinhua.
