Oct 14 (Reuters) - Vinicius ⁠Jr will miss Real Madrid's first ⁠Clasico of the season against Barcelona ‌after the Spanish Football Federation's disciplinary committee handed the Brazil forward a four-match suspension on Wednesday.

Vinicius was sent ​off for pulling Nathan ⁠Saliba's hair after coming ⁠off the bench in Saturday's 1-0 win over ⁠Villarreal.

The ‌committee imposed a two-match ban for the red-card offence and added ⁠another two games for his protests ​to the ‌referee, according to its disciplinary report for ⁠the ​eighth round of LaLiga fixtures.

The suspension rules Vinicius out of league matches against Sevilla, Barcelona, ⁠Racing Santander and Valencia, leaving ​coach Jose Mourinho without one of his most-used forwards for the trip to Camp Nou.

Vinicius ⁠has started all but one of Real's matches this season.

He apologised to his teammates and Real Madrid fans on social media ​after the incident.

The Clasico takes ⁠place on October 25, with Real travelling ​to face league leaders ‌Barcelona. The teams are separated ​by six points in the table.

10 月 14 日（路透社）——西班牙足球联合会纪律委员会周三对巴西前锋维尼修斯·儒尼奥尔处以四场禁赛的处罚，他将错过皇家马德里本赛季与巴塞罗那的首场国家德比。

维尼修斯在周六1-0战胜比利亚雷亚尔的比赛中替补上场后，因拽内森·萨利巴的头发而被罚下场。

根据西甲联赛第八轮比赛的纪律报告，委员会对球员出示红牌的违规行为处以两场禁赛，并因其抗议裁判判罚而加罚两场。

维尼修斯因停赛将缺席对阵塞维利亚、巴塞罗那、桑坦德竞技和瓦伦西亚的联赛，这使得主教练何塞·穆里尼奥在前往诺坎普的比赛中缺少了他最常用的前锋之一。

本赛季，维尼修斯代表皇马首发出战了除一场比赛外的所有比赛。

事件发生后，他在社交媒体上向队友和皇家马德里球迷道歉。

国家德比将于10月25日举行，皇家马德里将客场挑战联赛领头羊巴塞罗那。目前两队在积分榜上相差6分。
