Rodrygo will miss El Clasico against Barcelona with hamstring injury
Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes suffered a hamstring injury late in the game against Borussia Dortmund and will need to miss Saturday’s El Clasico, according to reports published in the Spanish press.
While Real Madrid have not released a medical report on Rodrygo yet, the first explorations by the club’s medical staff confirms that the Brazilian attacker indeed suffered a minor hamstring injury, one which will still force him to sit out a few games.

This will be a significant injury for Real Madrid, as coach Carlo Ancelotti will now have to deploy Bellingham as an attacker, which means that Tchouameni, Camavinga and Valverde will likely start in the midfield line.
Rodrygo has been an undisputed starter for Real Madrid all season long and now the team will have to find their way through without him in the biggest game of the season so far, which will take place on Saturday.
