Real madrid without courtois in el clásico

A major last-minute problem for Real Madrid ahead of tonight’s away Clásico against Barcelona (10:00 p.m.).

As announced by the “Merengues,” they will take the field at Camp Nou without their starting goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. The reason is that the Belgian goalkeeper is ill and will not be able to play in the big derby.
