Vinicius Junior has received a two-match La Liga suspension for the red card that Real Madrid's Brazilian winger was shown in the team's match against Valencia last Friday.
Vinicius was given the marching orders by the referee for pushing the neck of goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski after the Valencia custodian shoved him initially.
But that didn't stop Real Madrid, a man down, to win 2-1 and go to the top of the Spanish league's leaderboard.
The suspension means Vinicius will be unavailable for the upcoming league fixtures against Las Palmas and Real Valladolid. However, he remains eligible for the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
Real Madrid are set to face Mallorca on Thursday in the semifinals of the competition.
