Barcelona are dealing with an injury scare involving midfielder Rodri ahead of their upcoming clash against Atletico Madrid. The Spanish international featured in the UEFA Champions League 2026/27 League Phase Matchday 4 encounter against Aston Villa at Camp Nou on November 3, 2026, but his fitness is now in doubt for the crucial La Liga fixture.
The 2026/27 Champions League campaign saw Rodri start in Barcelona's home victory over the English side, with the player photographed in action during the match at Camp Nou. However, subsequent reports indicate the midfielder may have picked up a knock that could sideline him for the Madrid derby.
Barcelona's medical staff are reportedly assessing the extent of the issue as the club prepares for one of their most important domestic matches of the season against their title rivals.
