Real Madrid winger is now ruled out for the match against Barcelona – Romano | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have a very tough game awaiting them tonight as they take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League at Montjuic. This will be the first real test for Hansi Flick since his appointment as the Blaugrana coach.

However, another stern test will be awaiting the German right after this game, as Barcelona have Real Madrid as their next opponent in La Liga.

The Merengues won their UCL tie against Borussia Dortmund with a 5-2 scoreline last night and thus will be coming into El Clasico with their spirits sky-high.

However, this match was not really a cakewalk for them, as they ended the first half trailing the Germans by two goals. Ancelotti’s men then amped up their game in the second half, with Vinicius Junior scoring a hat-trick to win the game for Real Madrid.

Furthermore, as already reported, one of the Los Blancos forwards, Rodrygo Goes, also suffered a hamstring issue in this game, and was a doubt for the game against Barcelona.

Now, the trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on his condition and claims that detailed tests on him show that he will not be able to participate in the upcoming El Clasico due to this injury.

This will be a significant blow for Real Madrid, as they will also be missing Brahim Diaz, and will have only Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, and Endrick as their available forwards.

Although no longer an automatic starter, Rodrygo Goes is still a very important player for Ancelotti, as he has played in twelve games up to now, only sitting out in the last UCL game against Lille that Real Madrid lost. He has scored three goals and provided two assists in these twelve games.

But despite this loss, Real Madrid still boasts of one of the most fearsome attacking lines in Europe, and Barcelona will have to keep up their guard to get a result against the Merengues.
