In Madrid they are afraid that the main goalkeeper will not get injured
real Madrid concerned about the goalkeeper’s impending departure Andrey Lunin V Ukrainian national team.
The March international break is the last such break during the 2023/24 season. Real Madrid, like any club that sends a large number of players to various national teams, is afraid of the so-called “FIFA virus” or, in this case, the “UEFA virus”.
Considering the difficult situation with goalkeepers this season, Madrid “crossed their fingers” for Lunin. According to Spanish media, Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti hopes that Andrei will return from the national team without problems.
Let us remember that at the beginning of the season, Real rented Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea after the injury of the main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. However, Lunin gradually ousted the Spaniard from the base. The Ukrainian has 21 matches and 17 goals conceded this season. He played nine matches to zero.
According to the latest information, Courtois could return to action in the second half of April. However, Madrid expects to extend the contract with Lunin if he agrees to the role of Thibault’s reserve.
Real Madrid leads La Liga, four points ahead of Barcelona. Today Blancos will host Celta Vigo, the match starts at 19:30.
