Real Madrid enters the highly anticipated El Cl\u00e1sico against Barcelona amid a tense atmosphere and an unprecedented crisis within the dressing room, ahead of a crucial match that could see the Catalan side officially crowned La Liga champions at Camp Nou.<\/p>\n
Barcelona needs a win or even a draw to officially secure the La Liga title against their arch-rivals, while Real Madrid is experiencing a state of tension following a clash between Federico Valverde and Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni during training, which reportedly resulted in Valverde suffering a concussion. This incident has heightened concerns within the club.<\/p>\n
The crisis does not end there, as Real Madrid will enter El Cl\u00e1sico with a squad suffering from significant absences. Rodrygo, \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o, and Arda G\u00fcler are all confirmed to be out due to injury, in addition to Dani Carvajal, who is sidelined with a broken toe.<\/p>\n
The coaching staff suffered another blow with Ferland Mendy\u2019s hamstring tear in his right leg, an injury that could sideline him for an extended period. Meanwhile, Valverde requires 10 to 14 days of rest after his recent injury.<\/p>\n
The absences are not limited to injuries. Dani Ceballos was left out of the squad by a tactical decision, amid reports of growing disagreements with coach \u00c1lvaro Arbeloa.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, French star Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 will miss the match, despite participating in group training sessions over the past two days.<\/p>\n
Despite all these setbacks, Real Madrid received positive news with the return of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has fully recovered from the injury that has kept him out since March. He is expected to start in El Cl\u00e1sico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
