El Clasico: Luka Jovic absent from Real Madrid's squad with future in doubt

The Hindu  

Luka Jovic is a high-profile exclusion from the Real Madrid squad for Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona, with Mariano Diaz potentially set for a first LaLiga appearance of the season. Jovic, 22, was signed from Eintracht Frankfurt for a reported €60million at the start of the campaign, but he has had little impact with Los Blancos, making only 15 LaLiga appearances and scoring twice. His last league outing was 20 days ago, scoring in a two-minute cameo in the 4-1 win over Osasuna, and although he was a late substitute against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday, Jovic is not a part of the latest squad despite training on Saturday. Read: Zidane: No issue with Kroos after Man City omission Jovic's exclusion comes just a few hours after Madrid-based publication Marca reported the club has decided to invest in a new striker at the end of the season, with Erling Haaland, Lautaro Martinez, Timo Werner and Kylian Mbappe mentioned as potential targets.
