Mourinho Criticises Timing of Vinícius Suspension Ahead of Roma Clash
José Mourinho has criticised the Spanish Football Federation after Vinícius Júnior was informed of a four-match domestic suspension shortly before Real Madrid’s Champions League match against Roma. Vinícius was sent off during Real Madrid’s league game against Villarreal on October 10. The suspension rules him out of several domestic fixtures, including the October 25 El Clásico against Barcelona. Mourinho questioned why the decision was communicated so close to kick-off, arguing that it could affect the player’s focus. Vinícius was substituted in the 59th minute as Real Madrid secured a dramatic 4-3 away win, with goals from Kylian Mbappé, Carlos Espí, Endrick and Antonio Rüdiger.
