El Clasico Real Madrid Vs Barcelona: There's Bad News For Los Blancos

JAKARTA - Real Madrid will host their toughest rival, Barcelona, in the 11th week of La Liga 2024/2025 at the Santiago Bernabeu, Sunday, October 27, 2024, early morning WIB.

Ahead of the duel titled El Clasico, Real Madrid got bad news. Their striker, Rodrygo Goes, is likely to miss out.

He picked up an injury while helping Real Madrid win a landslide over Borussia Dortmund 5-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.

Rodrygo was forced to leave the field in the 85th minute of the match because he was diagnosed with a thigh injury.

A source told ESPN the Brazilian national team player would undergo further tests on Thursday, October 24, 2024, to determine how severe his injury was.

Not only Rodrygo, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is also still in doubt of playing. A source confirmed to ESPN that the Belgian goalkeeper was still struggling to recover from injury.

Courtois is doubtful of appearing in El Clasico after suffering an adductor injury that ruled him out this season.

The 32-year-old did play full against Dortmund, but he was diagnosed with another injury by the club in a statement released on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.
