Each player counts the missing players in the El Clasico: Olmo, Ceballos, Flick directs from the stands

This weekend will usher in the Spanish El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona. "Daily Sports" took stock of the players missing from the two teams in this game.

However, due to injuries and suspensions, we won’t see all the expected big-name players. First of all, Barcelona coach Flick will not be able to direct the game from the coaching bench at the Bernabeu Stadium because he was sent off by referee Manzano after the game against Girona. Although the club has submitted a complaint to the grievance committee, it seems unlikely that his punishment will be lifted.

The good news is that two key players, Rafinha and Ferran Torres, have resumed training and are expected to play in Sunday's game. Ferran Torres was in the squad against Olympiacos but did not play, so he is likely to start, while Raphinha is less likely to start.

In terms of Real Madrid, their two right backs Arnold and Carvajal have returned to training this week and are likely to enter Alonso's squad. In addition, Mendy returned to the squad for the first time after a long injury, and he entered the substitute list against Juventus.

However, the situation of Olmo and Ceballos is more complicated. Although they have not completely ruled out the possibility of participating, they are still unable to train with their teammates. Especially Olmo, he has not yet practiced with the ball, so it is more difficult for him to catch up with the game than Ceballos.
