Real Madrid are due to face Barcelona on Wednesday after a dramatic 1-1 draw against Valencia on Sunday. The Zinedine Zidane led side has been struck with a bit of bad news ahead of the top of the table clash.
According to reports in Marca, Brazilian left fullback Marcelo has been ruled out of the mouthwatering clash at the Camp Nou as he remains unable to train with his Real Madrid teammates.
Zidane was aware that the chances of the left-back returning on time for the meeting with Barcelona were slim but the former Real Madrid midfielder will be glad to have Ferland Mendy back from suspension after his red card against RCD Espanyol and should step in for the Los Blancos vice captain.
