Madrid Derby (Image Credits:X)
Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are set to renew their fierce rivalry this weekend in a crucial La Liga derby. With Real sitting second and Atlético in fourth, the clash carries added significance in the title race.
The last meeting between the two sides saw Real Madrid edge Atlético 2-1 in the Spanish Super Cup on January 8.
Manager Álvaro Arbeloa faces multiple injury concerns ahead of the derby. Ferland Mendy (muscle), Dani Ceballos (calf), and Rodrygo (knee) are all unavailable. While Mendy and Ceballos are expected back next month, Rodrygo is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Éder Militão has returned to training but remains doubtful, whereas Jude Bellingham is back in full training and could feature.
In the meantime, Thibaut Courtois is sidelined with a thigh injury until April, meaning Andriy Lunin is expected to continue as the starting goalkeeper. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappé is set to make his first start in over a month after returning from injury.
Atlético Madrid also faces challenges, with manager Diego Simeone dealing with a packed domestic and European schedule.
Midfielder Pablo Barrios has suffered a minor hamstring injury shortly after returning from a previous setback and is expected to be sidelined for around a month.
