El Classico will happen in 2 weeks. Exactly on matchday 11, El Classico will be held at Bernabeu. It'll be a high tension game again and again. This will be a very balanced and tight match, although many Real Madrid players are currently injured. but all will play with totality for this high tension and prestige match.
Aside from Carvajal who recently got an out-of-the-season injury over the weekend, no other Real Madrid player is injured. Real Madrid just employed those tactics to keep them from travelling for the international break so they will be well-rested.
Mbappe did not go to France, they claimed he was not fit, but he played against Lille and started against Villareal. Vinicius and Militao didn't go to Brazil either.
Yes, fortunately, some players who got injured previously, have started to recover and possibly return can compete in El Classico later.
Such as: Vinicius JR, Thibaut Courtois, Lunin, and also Militao.
While for some other players are still in the recovery period, such as Carvajal and Alaba as the first tier. So, just waiting for the certainty of their condition in a few more days.

I have had this idea that a player who knows what they are doing will surely excel under any coach. But two scenarios have made me change my thinking.
Indeed, yes because the coach is like a maestro who determines how the players will be optimal or not in the match, their chances of competing, the tactics used, the focus of the ball pass, and so on. And now, Lewandowski is shining, able to be optimal under HGansi Flick. Ah really can't wait for El Clasico.
