Rodrygo, Benzema and Mendy are injured six days before the Clásico. The winger had to leave the match against Mallorca in his arms. In the 70th minute Ancelotti was going to rest the Brazilian for Asensio to enter, but a few seconds before the 21-year-old footballer suffered a tackle from Raillo, who hit him with the studs on the front of his right foot. From the white club they have reported that the striker suffers a blow to the right scaphoid, in the absence of further tests. At the moment they are applying ice but, if it becomes a break, he could be out for two months. In the club he is the one who worries the most of the three fallen. However, after the game the Brazilian explained on his social networks that it was “a strong blow”.
After the blow Rodrygo, who was hurting on the pitch, had to come out on one leg with the help of two members of the medical team. In fact, Sánchez Martínez, referee of the match, even asked for the stretcher to enter. After leaving the field, he directly stopped walking, and went to the locker room supported by the doctors.

But the injuries of Real Madrid, which plays against Barcelona this weekend, have not stopped with Rodrygo. Shortly after, in the 82nd minute, Benzema also had to leave the match due to discomfort in the lower part of the left calf. After celebrating his second goal, the Frenchman could be seen hurting in the area, until he left the pitch talking to the doctors and pointing out the affected area. In addition, Mendy also had muscle problems, and Ancelotti was forced to change him for Marcelo in the 80th minute. The winger has ailments in his left adductor and will undergo, like his two teammates, medical tests to clarify the extent of his injury. At the moment, he is not ruling out any of the three for the duel against Barcelona. Ancelotti, in fact, asked for patience and did not give the impression of being worried about a serious injury with any of them.
