Rodrygo Out For El Clasico After Castilla Red Card
Real Madrid will be without Rodrygo Goes for Sunday's clash against Barcelona after the Brazilian was sent off while playing for Castilla.
Real Madrid have suffered a fresh blow ahead of their preparations of next Sunday's El Clasico following a bizarre incident involving Brazilian sensation Rodrygo Goes while on duty for the club's 'B' team, Castilla.
The 19-year-old scored the second goal in Castilla's 2-0 win over SS Reyes and shortly afterwards was shown a second yellow card for provocatively celebrating in front of the opposing goalkeeper.
With Eden Hazard ruled out for the time being after suffering a hairline fracture in his right ankle in Saturday's defeat to Levante, Rodrygo was expected to make the squad for the top-of-the-table clash with Barcelona.
Rodrygo will however be available for Zinedine Zidane's die ahead of the last-16 Champions League first leg clash game against Manchester City on Wednesday.
