After the\u2019 brilliant victory against Borussia Dortmund, Carlo Ancelotti took two bad news. Before the duel against FC Barcelona in the Clasico, Real Madrid can still rejoice with good news.<ins Real Madrid is dealing with a busy period of news. Following an impressive performance against Borussia Dortmund on the third matchday of the revamped Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s team learned of two key injuries: Rodrygo Goes, suffering from a hamstring issue in his left leg, and Thibaut Courtois, who has sustained an adductor injury. Both players are now ruled out of the upcoming Clasico against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu next Saturday. However, Madrid has reasons to stay optimistic with two pieces of good news.<\/p>\n
The Return of Brahim Diaz<\/p>\n
Moroccan international Brahim Diaz, a vital part of the squad in recent months, has returned to team training after being sidelined since September 14. Initially expected to be out for three months, the 25-year-old has made a swift recovery and rejoined his teammates in full training. According to reports from *The Athletic*, Diaz should be available for selection in the Clasico, providing a much-needed boost in the absence of Rodrygo Goes. With a similar playing style to the Brazilian forward, Brahim is anticipated to bring speed and dribbling skills to the match, which is crucial in the title race.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udea8 JUST IN: Brahim D\u00edaz is expected to be included in the squad for El Cl\u00e1sico. @MarioCorteganaIn addition to this positive news, Real Madrid remains confident despite Courtois\u2019 injury. Andriy Lunin, Courtois\u2019 understudy, is no stranger to high-pressure games. The 25-year-old Ukrainian, who stepped in admirably last season during Courtois\u2019 absence, has already featured in matches this year against Lille and Villarreal, delivering solid performances. Lunin, who faced Barcelona twice last season, is expected to once again rise to the occasion in the Clasico.<\/p>\n
Lunin, already used to the big games<\/p>\n
With his experience from last season and recent games, Lunin is set to capably guard Real Madrid\u2019s goal on Saturday. Following their strong win against Borussia Dortmund, Madrid\u2019s defense will likely show even greater determination to shield their young goalkeeper from dangerous attacks, ensuring a solid performance in the high-stakes match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
