Real Madrid striker Alvaro Rodriguez has been suspended for Sunday’s La Liga clash with Barcelona.

The 18-year-old has been involved in the first team at Madrid of late, scoring his first senior goal for the club in the Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

Rodriguez has featured in each of Real Madrid’s last four league matches, including the final minute of last Saturday’s 3-1 win over Espanyol.

In total, Rodriguez has played six times for Real Madrid’s senior team this season, scoring once and providing one assist.

Rodriguez , who is still playing games for Real Madrid Castilla side, was already on four yellow cards at domestic level before picking up a fifth booking while playing for Castilla against Deportivo La Coruna last Sunday.

AS report that the booking is set to rule Rodriguez out of El Clasico at Camp Nou, but Real Madrid have already appealed the decision.

A final decision is yet to be made over Alvaro Rodriguez situation.
