Will miss El Classico Benzema (calf) was not called up by Real Madrid for Sunday's clash against Barcelona. Impact Benzema has been dealing with discomfort in his calf this week, and with Real Madrid's 11 point lead at the top of La Liga, manager Carlo Ancelotti thought it best not to risk his fitness even for a match as big as El Classico. Luka Jovic is the most natural fit to replace him as the striker, but Isco or Gareth Bale could also fill in playing a different role.
