Thibaut Courtois will miss El Clásico against Barcelona due to flu symptoms that have ruled him out of the highly anticipated clash. The Belgian goalkeeper's absence is a major blow for Real Madrid ahead of one of the biggest matches of the season.

With Courtois unavailable, Andriy Lunin is expected to take his place in goal. The Ukrainian goalkeeper could have a crucial role to play as Real Madrid prepare to face their biggest rivals without one of their most important players.
