Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has suffered a huge blow ahead of the El Clasico on October 16th at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is a doubt for the game against Barcelona as he is currently suffering from a ‘nerve related pain’, according to Diario ABC.

There is currently no return date set for Courtois. He could be back in days or possibly in weeks.

Courtois wants to be ready for El Clasico, but even then, it’s not guaranteed he will make it.
