Just a few hours to go before kick-off in the Clásico on Sunday at Spotify Camp Nou, counting for Matchday 10 of La Liga.

Forced to put together a team without several key defensive players, Hansi Flick will also have to do without Dani Olmo, who suffered an adductor injury this week during the Champions League defeat in Paris to PSG (4-2). The Spanish attacking midfielder joins a Barcelona treatment room filled with defenders, where Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen and Eric Garcia are also recovering. FC Barcelona's lineup should be quite similar to the one fielded at the Parc des Princes.

Mourinho has an almost full squad

José Mourinho, meanwhile, will have to do without Rodrygo, Ferland Mendy and Raúl Asencio, all three of whom remain unavailable. The Special One is expected to field a team very similar to Wednesday's lineup.

Probable lineups:

FC Barcelona: Joan García - Xavi Espart, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Cancelo - Rodri, Pedri, Fermín - Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Gordon

Real Madrid: Courtois - Valverde, Konaté, Rüdiger, Cucurella - Camavinga, Tchouaméni, Bellingham - Güler, Mbappé, Diomandé.
