Barcelona and Real Madrid are set to face each other for the third time this season.

Unfortunately, Roger Grimau will be without one of his key players, Nicolas Laprovittola, for the Round 5 EuroLeague match.

Laprovittola experienced discomfort in his left adductor, ruling him out of the squad at WiZink Center.

The club stated that his recovery progress will dictate his availability for upcoming matches.

Barcelona faced defeats against Real Madrid in the initial two encounters during the Spanish Supercup and ACB League.

Both teams have maintained a flawless record in the first four rounds of the EuroLeague.
