This is how the Real Madrid injury list looks ahead of the Classic

The international break has been useful for the coach, as it has helped to recover several players who were not in the best condition. Bellingham was released due to physical discomfort, Valverde needed rest after accumulating many minutes, and Tchouameni was serving a suspension. However, other players like Mbappé and Mastantuono went off to their national teams despite not being at a hundred percent. With 10 days left to visit Getafe, 12 to host Juventus in the Champions League, and 15 to play the Classic, this is the current status of the injured.

Alexander Arnold, doubtful

“He suffers a muscle injury in the hamstring of his left leg,” the club´s medical report stated after the incident the Englishman suffered on September 16 in the Champions League match against Marseille. The estimated recovery time is eight weeks. His progress is positive, but it seems complicated for him to arrive in optimal condition for the Classic. He could be included in the squad, although without competitive rhythm.

Carvajal, minimal options

“He suffers an injury in the soleus of his right leg,” the medical report indicated after the injury on September 27 in the derby. The defender needs about one month of recovery and, although he could make it to the Classic, he would be very tight physically. Both he and Arnold will certainly miss the match against Getafe and are doubtful for the Champions League match against Juventus at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Rüdiger, ruled out

“He suffers an injury in the rectus femoris of his left leg,” the diagnosis from September 12 indicated, just before the visit to Anoeta. The German center-back will be out for approximately three months, so he is completely ruled out for the Classic. His return is not expected before December.

Mendy, an enigmatic case

“He has successfully undergone surgery today for a rupture of the proximal tendon of the rectus femoris in his right quadriceps,” the club communicated on May 30, after he was injured four days earlier in the Copa del Rey final against Barça. The estimated recovery time was two and a half to three months, but the club has not explained why he has not yet returned. His situation is a mystery and he still does not have a specific return date.

Huijsen, available

“He suffers a muscle injury in the soleus of his left leg,” Real Madrid reported when announcing the absence of the young center-back, who had to leave the concentration of his national team. The expected period of absence is about two weeks, or even a little less. If there are no setbacks, Huijsen will be ready to play in the Classic and could even return earlier, in the match against Juventus on the 22nd at the Santiago Bernabéu.
