Arda Guler - Won't play Saturday Guler (quadriceps) is not in the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.
Impact The young playmaker has been training hard in the gym as he looks to make his Real Madrid debut, but injuries have limited him massively, and he'll have to wait another week to play. His next chance to appear in a game will come against Rayo Vallecano on Nov. 5.

Mato Joselu - Available for El Clasico Joselu (illness) is in the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.
Impact Joselu reportedly felt a bit under the weather earlier this week, but the veteran striker has been deemed fit enough to face Barcelona in El Clasico. That said, Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior are expected to start, meaning Joselu will be a bench option at best.
OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dani Ceballos - Won't face Barcelona Ceballos (quadriceps) is not in the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.
Impact Ceballos picked up an injury last week and still hasn't recovered properly, so he's in line to miss a third straight game. There's no clear timetable for his return, but even if he were to be available, he'd be nothing more than an option off the bench in a crowded midfield area.
OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nacho - In squad to face Barca Nacho (suspension) is in the squad to face Barcelona on Saturday.
Impact Nacho completed his ban and is part of the squad to face Barcelona, although he's expected to be available off the bench with David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy all fit and ready to start.

Arda Guler - Working in gym Guler (quadriceps) was pictured training in the gym alongside his teammates in the lead-up to Saturday's matchup with Barcelona.
Impact Guler seemed to be nearing a return from a knee problem when he suffered his quadriceps injury and has been trying to work his way back into the squad. Even if the midfielder does join the squad against Barcelona, he will be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI.

Jude Bellingham - Avoids injury Bellingham felt discomfort in his groin following Tuesday's win, but is still expected to be available for Saturday's El Clasico against Barcelona, confirmed manager Carlo Ancelott...
Impact Bellingham has started and played all but one match this season as he continues his upstanding start with eight goals, which leads the league. He also has three UCL goals in three games as he brings his average goals per contest to one. As long as his groin does not act up, he is expected to start against Barcelona on Saturday.

Real Madrid's 'B Unit' provides continuity and security at a time of risk Luka Modric, Nacho and Fran Garcia all contributed to Real Madrid's Champions League win at SC Braga as Carlo Ancelotti went for rotation
OCTOBER 25, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Luka Modric - Creates seven chances Tuesday Modric generated four crosses (two accurate), seven chances created and five corners in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus SC Braga.
Impact Modric created a season-high seven chances Tuesday, his most in a match this season and more than in any match last season as well. It was just his fifth start of the season and his first time playing the full 90 minutes, as the Real Madrid midfield looks to be going in a much younger direction. It is unclear how much longer the 38-year-old will play at Real Madrid, but when he plays, he is still capable of elite performances like the one he put on Tuesday.
OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Vinicius Junior - Assists in Tuesday's UCL win Vinicius Junior assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against SC Braga.
Impact Vinicius assisted Jude Bellingham's goal in the 61st minute Tuesday, his first assist in the Champions League this season. He is in great form right now as he has four goal contributions in his last four matches (La Liga and UCL combined). It is the perfect time for him to find his form, as he and Real Madrid take on Barcelona in El Clasico Saturday.
OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rodrygo - Scores opener Tuesday Rodrygo scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against SC Braga.
Impact Rodrygo opened up the scoring Tuesday with an unassisted goal in the 16th minute, his first in the Champions League this season. It also marks his first goal since Aug. 12 at Athletic Club Bilbao. With just three goal contributions in 13 appearances in all competitions, Rodrygo is off to a slow start compared to last season where he bagged 24 goal contributions in 46 appearances.
OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jude Bellingham - Scores again Tuesday Bellingham scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 victory versus SC Braga.
Impact Bellingham scored in his third straight Champions League game Tuesday, a strike in the 61st minute assisted by Vinicius Junior which took the 2-0 lead. Through 12 games combined in La Liga and the UCL, Bellingham has an astounding 11 goals and three assists and has only had three games where he did not score a goal. He will look to continue his hot streak Saturday in his first El Clasico, away at Barcelona.
OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kepa Arrizabalaga - Concedes once in win Arrizabalaga recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over SC Braga.
Impact Arrizabalaga conceded one goal in Tuesday's Champions League victory, his third goal conceded in three group stage games. His defense only allowed three shots on target in the match, which is to be expected versus one of the weaker UCL sides. He faces a very difficult matchup in El Clasico Saturday, at a Barcelona side which has scored 22 goals in 10 league matches this season.

Mato Joselu - Under the weather Joselu is dealing with the flu, forcing him to withdraw from the squad against Braga on Tuesday.
Impact Joselu wasn't named to the starting XI, so the change should have little impact on Tuesday's contest. Still, the forward has at least come off the bench in all 12 of his appearances this season in which he registered five goals on 35 shots (17 on target), two assists and 11 chances created. With Joselu unavailable, Brahim Diaz could be in line for more minutes.
