An ultrasound showed a small tear in the Spaniard’s abductor muscle
Main goalkeeper Real Madrid Kepa Arrizabalagawho was injured during the warm-up before the match Champions League against Bragiflew out for two to three weeks.
An ultrasound examination showed that the 29-year-old Spaniard had a small tear in the abductor muscle. Tomorrow, November 10, he will have an MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
Let us remember that in the mentioned match on November 8, Ukrainian Andrei Lunin came out instead of Arrizabalaga and performed brilliantly – he saved a penalty, after which he made two more saves and kept the goal intact. This match was Lunin’s third of the season and his second clean sheet.
Real Madrid won 3:0 and qualified early for the Champions League playoffs.
Kepa’s announced rehabilitation period means that he is guaranteed not to play on November 11 against Valencia in Primera Liga. Next, club football goes on an international break, and by the match against Cadiz on November 26, the goalkeeper on loan from Chelsea may already have time to recover.
