Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that both Sergio Ramos and James Rodriguez will miss Saturday's clash with neighbours Atletico Madrid.
The duo suffered injuries in tonight's 2-1 win at home to Sevilla in a victory that saw the Blancos move four points clear at the top of La Liga.
James, who opened the scoring at the Bernabeu, took a knock to his right foot, while a hamstring problem forced Ramos off within 10 minutes of kickoff.
"We are not happy with the injuries. I believe that both [Ramos and Rodriguez] are out," he told reporters.
Sergio has a hamstring problem, but we cannot decide yet. We must wait a few days.
"James had a problem with his right foot. I don't know what exactly it is, but he will not be available, for sure."
Victory at the Vicente Calderon would see Ancelotti's side move 10 points clear of the defending champions in third place.
