El Clasico: Rodrygo out, Courtois doubtful ahead of Real Madrid vs Barcelona clash

Real Madrid forward Rodrygo Goes is set to miss Saturday’s highly anticipated Clásico against Barcelona.

The Brazilian sustained a thigh injury during the Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Rodrygo left the pitch in the 85th minute of the 5-2 comeback win, and further tests on Thursday will determine the seriousness of his injury.

In addition, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is a major doubt for the clash after suffering a recurrence of his adductor injury, which had previously sidelined him this season.

While Courtois played the full game against Dortmund, Romano confirmed that he was diagnosed with the injury afterward.

The El Clásico will take place on Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu by 8:00pm.
