Coach Hansi Flick had raised hopes about having his winger back in time for the clasico, but those were dashed a day before the trip to Madrid when assistant coach Marcus Sorg confirmed the Brazil international would not be on the squad.

Sorg said that Spain forward Ferran Torres also may not be ready to start after recently recovering from a muscle strain.
