Mendy has been released from training due to injury, but his participation in tomorrow’s match is not ruled out.
The day before the match against Barcelona goalkeeper Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois trained in a group.
The Belgian continues to recover from another injury, and his health is encouraging. However, there is no talk of returning to the field yet.
Still unavailable ahead of what could be a key championship match David Alaba. His colleague, left back Ferland Mendy, is experiencing muscle discomfort, which is why a gentle training regimen was applied to him. At the same time, the Frenchman’s participation in tomorrow’s match is not ruled out.
Let us remember that in March Courtois received his second serious injury during training during the season. The 31-year-old Belgian was officially diagnosed with a torn medial meniscus in his right knee. Subsequently, the football player successfully underwent surgery. It was planned that he would recover for at least seven weeks – that is, in fact, until the end of the season.
However, Thibault subsequently stated that he would return to group training at the end of April.
In the absence of the Belgian, the competition for the No. 1 post was won by the Ukrainian Andrey Lunin, who is having a brilliant season in goal for the Blancos. On Wednesday, April 17, Andrey played an inspired match in Manchester. His saves throughout the game, as well as two saves in the penalty shootout, helped Real reach the Champions League semi-finals. Courtois himself called his competitor “great” for this performance.
Real is leading in La Liga, 8 points ahead of Barcelona, which they will host tomorrow, April 21, in the match of the 32nd round of Primera Liga. The meeting starts at 22:00 Kyiv time.
