The Ukrainian’s rival expects to fully recover for the match with Granada on December 2
Head coach Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti said that the Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin will fight for a place in the team after the return of Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga.
“He doesn’t think that Napoli will be his last game because Kepa will return and Andrei will fight for the position. Lunin deserved it by performing very well. Competition is good for us. We have two top-level goalkeepers who can bring value to the team.”
Let us remind you that Blancos main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is out of action until March. His replacement Kepa Arrizabalaga is also injured and has not yet had time to recover. The Chelsea-owned goalkeeper could return for the match against Granada on December 2, according to manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Lunin was included in Madrid’s squad for the match with Napoli in the Champions League. The Ukrainian is the most senior goalkeeper available to head coach Carlo Ancelotti at the moment. His fellow players on the entry list are 18-year-old Fran Gonzalez and 21-year-old Lucas Cañizares.
Real is leading in La Liga, ahead of Girona, Ukrainians Viktor Tsygankov and Artem Dovbik in additional indicators. The match with Napoli in the Champions League will take place on November 29.
