Marcelo Injured Ahead of Clasico

Tuesday, Nov. 3

The Brazilian picked up the injury after just half an hour in the match and had to be substituted in favour of Nacho, per football journalist Dermot Corrigan. At half-time, Corrigan added that the early suggestion coming from the club was he had a "problem in his left hamstring."

As Corrigan further noted, the left-back is incredibly the 12th Real player to suffer an injury in the last month alone.

The vice-captain has been ever-present for Los Blancos in La Liga this season, scoring twice and assisting another in their 10 matches.
