Real Madrid have revealed that centre-back Ricardo Carvalho is set to be sidelined after suffering a fresh injury problem.
The 33-year-old defender had only recently returned to training with the squad after a back problem saw him miss more than five weeks of action.
Carvalho, whose last appeared Jose Mourinho's side back in September during the 3-0 victory against Ajax in the Champions League, has now sprained the ligaments in his right knee.
The former Portugal international's recovery time is still unknown, but the problem puts him in doubt for the Clasico against Barcelona on December 10.
The defender joins compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo on the treatment table, as the 26-year-old attacker is racing to recover from an ankle injury suffered in the weekend derby against Atletico Madrid.
