Real Madrid have been dealt a huge double injury blow, with Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo both set to miss this weekend’s Clasico against Barcelona.
Los Blancos came from behind to beat Borussia Dortmund 5-2 in the Champions League on Tuesday but at the cost of losing goalkeeper Courtois.
“Courtois has been diagnosed with an adductor injury in his left leg,” said Madrid in a statement Wednesday, with Ukrainian stopper Andriy Lunin his usual replacement.
Lunin stood in for Courtois earlier in the month after the Belgian suffered a minor hip injury.
Rodrygo appeared hurt during the final stages of the win over Dortmund and Madrid coach Ancelotti said the winger had a “muscular injury”.
After the all-important Clasico on Saturday night, Ancelotti’s Real side are set to face Valencia and Osasuna in La Liga respectively, and will also take on AC Milan in a Champions League fixture before the November international break.
