Rodrygo and Courtois Injuries: Missing the Clasico Match

Due to injury concerns, Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo are probably going to miss Saturday’s Clasico matchup against La Liga leaders Barcelona.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Real Madrid revealed that Courtois had been diagnosed with an adductor injury in his left leg. His typical replacement is Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

Earlier in the month, Lunin replaced Courtois due to a slight hip injury sustained by the Belgian.

Madrid coach Ancelotti said that Rodrygo had a “muscular injury” after the winger looked injured during the closing moments of the team’s victory over Dortmund.

According to Spanish media, Rodrygo is expected to miss Wednesday’s match against the league leaders due to a hamstring injury.

The second-place winners are three points behind Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick.
