Rodrygo was injured in the match against Borussia Dortmund. Will he play against Barcelona?
Yesterday, Real Madrid secured a dramatic 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in their UEFA Champions League group stage match. However, the team suffered a setback during the game.
Details: Late in the match, Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Rodrygo sustained an injury. He was substituted in the 85th minute by Aurélien Tchouaméni.
The exact diagnosis is yet to be determined, but Real Madrid's medical team has identified that Rodrygo is dealing with an issue related to his hamstring.
Real Madrid remains hopeful that Rodrygo will be available for El Clásico against Barcelona, scheduled for Saturday, October 26. However, according to Marca, his chances of playing are slim.
Reminder: The referee for this season's first El Clásico has already been announced.
