Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois likely to miss the Clasico
Courtois has missed Madrid's last four matches in all competitions
Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois is likely to miss Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona, according a report in Marca.
The Belgian goalkeeper has been wrapped in cotton wool ahead of the fixture but will not recover in time to face Barça in LaLiga's top-of-the-table clash.
Courtois did not train with his teammates on Friday and Marca report that he has not recovered as quickly as hoped and, for that reason, will not be risked.
However, it's better news for Antonio Rudiger who was able to train without a mask and with stitches, so he is in better condition.
The former Chelsea defender took a huge blow to the head against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday and it was feared he would miss Barça after not training on Thursday, but he was back with the group on Friday.
