For the first time this season, Lunin’s competitor will have a theoretical chance to play in an official match
Goalkeeper Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois for the first time this season he is included in the Madrid club’s squad. He was among the 23 players who will travel to Munich for the semi-final match Champions League against Bavaria.
Let us remember that in March he 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 returned to group training in April. The goalkeeper himself said that he did not intend to rush to enter the field, since the Ukrainian Andrei Lunin copes with the team’s tasks.
Courtois suffered a previous injury in August during training, tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee, after which he also underwent surgery. This season, the Belgian has never been included in his team’s roster.
The other day, head coach Carlo Ancelotti said that Courtois will return to the match with Cadiz on May 4. In this case, according to the coach, the goalkeeper has a chance to qualify for a place in goal in the return (home) semi-final of the Champions League with Bayern, which will take place on May 8.
Real is a confident leader in the Spanish Championship, five rounds before the finish ahead of Girona by 13 points and Barcelona by 14 (the latter has a game in hand).
