Vinicius Junior misses Real Madrid-Rayo Vallecano – not in the squad

In the scandalous match against Valencia, Vinicius Junior was sent off.

The red card was later withdrawn – but he will not play in tonight’s match against Rayo Vallecano.

Vinicius Junior was subjected to racism in the league match against Valencia. The Brazilian was also sent off after a fight – but the suspension was lifted afterwards.

Many therefore thought that he would play in tonight’s derby against Rayo Vallecano – but that will not be the case for the 22-year-old.

Vinicius is not selected in Real Madrid’s squad.

According to The Athletic, he is stopped by a sensation in his left knee.

Tonight’s match had been his first since the racism scandal at Mestalla.

Real Madrid host Rayo Vallecano at home at 19:30.
