If there is no setback in the match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, Zinedine Zidane is already clear on which players he can count on for the momentous match against FC Barcelona.
The Real Madrid coach has notable casualties for Saturday's Clásico (4:00 pm) and only one doubt. The absences due to injury are those of Eden Hazard, Martin Odegaard and Dani Carvajal, while Álvaro Odriozola rushes his options to be present at the appointment.
Carvajal's is perhaps the most important loss for Madrid, since it will force Zidane to look for options on the right side. Nacho has been covering the losses of the youth squad and Odriozola, but against Barça it is not ruled out that it is Militao who can occupy that demarcation.
As for Hazard, the Belgian needs a miracle to be able to play the Classic. His muscle injury forces caution, especially considering that he has not yet been able to debut this season.
Meanwhile, Odriozola is the one with the most numbers to be included in the list, although his calf injury still limits his participation in training.
If nothing happens, the one who will surely be in the Classic is Sergio Ramos, who last weekend gave the scare when he had to be substituted at half-time against Cádiz for a blow to the knee.
