Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrei Lunin may again find himself on the bench this season
Head coach Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti said that the goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Eder Militao will return to action after a break for national team matches.
Earlier, the Italian announced the return of both players to the Champions League quarterfinals. It was reported that Courtois has been training with the Blancos general group since the beginning of March.
Let us remind you that the Belgian tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee during training in August, after which he underwent knee surgery. It was previously reported that the player does not want to force his return in order to better prepare for the new season. Courtois was ready to miss the 2024 European Championship.
Later it became known that the rate of Thibault’s recovery was ahead of the predicted time frame. Courtois was preparing to play at the end of this season. On March 1, Ancelotti suggested that the Belgian, like his injured teammate Eder Militao, would be able to return to action in the second half of April.
During Courtois’s absence, Andrei Lunin won a place in the Real team. It was reported that Madrid expect to extend the contract with the Ukrainian if he agrees to the role of Courtois’ reserve.
Real Madrid leads La Liga, five points ahead of Barcelona. Blancos’ next match will host Celta Vigo on March 10.
