Courtois and Rodrygo of Real Madrid will miss the Clasico match against Barcelona due to leg injuries

Both attacker Rodrygo and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois suffered leg muscle injuries during Real Madrid’s 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, thus they will miss their upcoming La Liga Clasico matchup against Barcelona.

On Wednesday, real was confirmed. During the Champions League match, Courtois strained his left adductor muscle, the same ailment he received against Atletico Madrid in the La Liga clash last month.

Rodrygo will have an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury and how long he will be sidelined, but the team is hopeful that it is a minor problem and that he might play in the game against Valencia the following week.

Both defender David Alaba and captain Dani Carvajal are already sidelined for Real Madrid’s Saturday matchup against league leaders Barcelona due to ACL rupture.

After missing more than a month of action due to a leg injury, Morocco midfielder Brahim Diaz has returned to training this week and may be ready to play against Barcelona.
