Barca missing key winger: Team news and probable lineup for El Clasico final

Real Madrid have a battle on their hands this Sunday. It's not just El Clasico but a final as well. Up for grabs is the Super Cup of Spain which Madrid lost last January.

Team news

Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti's team have been struggling with injuries since the season started but it hasn't stopped them from doing well so far.

For the Sunday clash, the Whites will have to do it without key players like Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba. All three are still recovering from ACL injuries.

Dani Carvajal caused a scare when he missed training on Friday night but sources say he should play the game.

Barcelona

Barcelona were dealt another injury blow this week when key winger Raphinha pulled up with a hamstring injury during their win against Osasun in the semi-final.

Xavi may not be able to count on Inigo Martinez and Joao Cancelo as both players didn't train on the eve of the game.

Barca's injury list continues to grow — Raphinha, Alonso, Cancelo, Ter Stegen, Gavi and Martinez are all sidelined.

Probable lineups

Real Madrid

Real Madrid are used to the 4-4-2 now. It's working so no one complains

Barcelona

Xavi is tipped to start with four midfielders to match Madrid in that area of the pitch.
