Real Madrid travel to Barcelona this weekend fully aware that nothing less than three points will suffice, and it goes well beyond mere bragging rights.
Sitting six points adrift in the La Liga standings after just nine matches, a loss to their in-form rivals would deal a massive psychological blow to José Mourinho's side, even if the title arithmetic doesn't shift dramatically.
On the flip side, a stunning victory against the odds would be exactly the boost Madrid need following an inconsistent opening to the 2026–27 campaign.
Fortunately for Mourinho, he can bring a largely full-strength squad to Catalonia as they look to close the gap. Here's the latest Real Madrid injury update ahead of their trip to Barcelona.
Rodrygo Goes
Rodrygo has somewhat faded into the background at Real Madrid, having been absent since rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee back in March.
A rough timeline suggests the Brazilian winger is expected to make his return to action at the beginning of next year.
Ferland Mendy
The 31-year-old has been plagued by injury troubles over recent seasons, missing as many as 45 matches in 2025–26 alone.
Mendy's most recent setback required surgery on a tendon tear back in May, and he continues his road to full fitness. He has recently rejoined team training sessions, but is not expected to be cleared for competitive action until after the November international break.
Raúl Asencio
The central defender has yet to make an appearance for Madrid this season, having opted for surgery to address a stress fracture in his right tibia at the end of September after battling the problem for an extended period.
The precise details of the 23-year-old's recovery schedule remain unclear, though he is not anticipated to be available again until the new year.
Vinícius Júnior
An already difficult start to the season took a further turn for the worse for Vinícius Júnior when he received a straight red card for grabbing Nathan Saliba's hair during the victory over Villarreal. That incident—combined with his heated protests toward the referee—resulted in a four-match domestic suspension for Vinícius Jr.
Consequently, he was forced to sit out the win against Sevilla and will also miss the Clásico, along with upcoming league fixtures against Racing Santander (Nov. 1) and Valencia (Nov. 7).
The Brazilian forward will be eligible to return to La Liga action for the home clash against Celta Vigo on Nov. 21, after the next international break.
