After Real Madrid’s brilliant 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in the third round of the 2024 Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti received some bad news. A key player is injured and doubtful for Saturday’s Clasico against Barcelona.
It’s bad news that has spoiled Real Madrid’s fine evening. After a stunning display against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, Florentino Pérez’s club are already looking ahead to Saturday’s La Liga Round 11 clash with Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu. Carlo Ancelotti is likely to be without his key member of the attacking trio, Rodrygo Goes, for this important encounter in the race for the La Liga title.
The bad news ahead of the Clasico
Back in Real Madrid’s starting XI against Borussia Dortmund, the Brazilian striker, who had been playing well, left his team-mates in the 85th minute. Replaced by Aurélien Tchouaméni, Rodrygo Goes, who celebrated his team’s fine victory, is no longer certain of keeping his place next Saturday. According to Spanish radio station Onda Cero, the 23-year-old is suffering from a hamstring injury.
With an injury to the muscle behind his thigh, Rodrygo Goes is almost certain to miss the upcoming Clasico. According to the news, he will undergo tests this Wednesday to determine the severity of his physical problem. Should this not be confirmed, it would be a major blow for Carlo Ancelotti, who was back to his winning ways on Tuesday with all three strikers giving their all. Stay tuned.
