Real Madrid and Barcelona, who lead, on equal points, the Spanish League, will measure forces today, in a match counting for the 9th round of the competition, and the Merengues should have a significant loss.
According to the newspaper 'Marca', goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois continued without training with the rest of the squad, due to sciatic pain, he has not played for the last four games and should not play in 'El Clásico' either.
According to that publication, Courtois has been undergoing conservative treatment, but the medical department considers it dangerous to hasten his return to competition, which could have negative consequences in the future.
