Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr has had his red card rescinded against Valencia.

The Brazilian was sent off for slapping Hugo Duro, but is now available for tonight's clash with Rayo Vallecano.

RFEF ruled VAR failed to show the entire incident to match officials: "The Valencia player grabbed his opponent by the neck but this gesture would not have been shown during the review, thus prompting the referee to punish only the visiting number 20."

Meanwhile, the Competition Committee have ordered the Mario Kempes stand at the Mestalla to be closed for five rounds due to racist chants. Valencia have also been fined 45,000.
