Real Madrid coach José Mourinho has raised concerns about when Vinicius Jr’s four-match suspension was announced. He believes the news should not have come out just before Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League match.
Mourinho shared his worries about the Spanish Refereeing Committee's choice to reveal the suspension details minutes before Real Madrid’s big European game. He asked why they chose that timing.
As reported by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on X, Mourinho said, “Ask Spanish Refereeing Committee why they published the news about Vini’s ban minutes before he plays an important UCL game.”
“Real Madrid is a Spanish club, so why publish it now?”
Vinicius has been given a four-match suspension. This means he will miss several domestic games, including the much-anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona.
The Brazilian forward is set to be absent for matches against Sevilla, Barcelona, Racing Santander, and Valencia if the suspension goes ahead.
This announcement's timing has raised eyebrows. Mourinho believes sharing this information right before a major European match could have been avoided.
Real Madrid is gearing up for their Champions League matches while also facing the loss of one of their top players for key domestic games.
Vinicius missing El Clásico would be a big blow for Real Madrid. His role in their attack and his past performances against Barcelona make him vital to the team's success.
