Los Blancos’ talisman scored twice in his side’s dominant win over the weekends; however, he will now miss a vital clash with Athletic Bilbao at the end of this month.

However, Vinicius is a regular target for rival teams, often receiving rough treatment from opposition defenses. On Saturday, the 23-year-old picked up his fourth yellow card in as many games, bringing up a fifth booking in Spain’s top flight.

That yellow, which referee Juan Martinez Munuera brandished for dissent, means Vinicius will not be available for Madrid’s first game after the March international break, a clash with Athletic Club on Sunday, 31 March.

The Brazilian will, however, be able to feature in the first leg of Madrid’s quarter-final tie with Manchester City in Europe a little over a week later in April.

Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga to ten points with a victory over Osasuna, capitalizing as title rivals Girona were later beaten 1-0 away at Getafe.

Los Blancos will have Jude Bellingham available after the March international break, having served his two-game ban for a dismissal against Valencia earlier this month.
