Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal will miss the May 10 Clasico after sustaining a toe fracture, the club confirmed on Saturday.

The injury is expected to sideline the veteran right-back for around two weeks, according to Spanish media, raising the possibility of a return for the club’s final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao.

Carvajal’s absence is a setback for Madrid ahead of the high-profile clash with Barcelona.

Real Madrid is 11 points behind league leaders Barcelona, who could clinch La Liga this weekend with a win at Osasuna, if Los Blancos drop points at Espanyol on Sunday.

The 34-year-old, a six-time Champions League winner and four-time La Liga champion, had hoped to form part of Spain’s World Cup squad this summer, but after an injury-hit season, his chances were already slim before his latest setback.
