Ancelotti announced at a press conference that Lunin would have minutes between now and the end of the season, but the Ukrainian did not expect them to arrive so soon. The Italian is clear about it: ”If Courtois is fine, he’s going to play,” he said at the press conference on Monday in Valdebebas prior to the game against Girona. What he did not count on is that the Belgian goalkeeper fell off the list at the last minute and did not travel to Catalonia to play matchday number 31 of LaLiga.
Real Madrid have reported that their starting goalkeeper is suffering from gastroenteritis. He will not be able to play this match, but he will be available for the clash next Saturday, April 29 against Almería, which is currently the team that marks the relegation of the Spanish First Division.
Lunin will be the goalkeeper who will occupy the posts of Montilivi’s goal. With this match it will be the seventh title of the season for the Ukrainian goalkeeper, who is quite dissatisfied with the role he is having in the team, since he was the starting goalkeeper of the Copa del Rey but Ancelotti decided to do without his services and bet on Courtois . In the event that the Italian continues next season, he has many ballots to go out in search of minutes. The Premier League and Serie A are behind him.
Ancelotti, apart from Luis López, who is the third goalkeeper for Real Madrid, has named Mario de Luis, Castilla’s starting goalkeeper, as the third goalkeeper. He surely does not have minutes but Ancelotti has preferred not to lower his guard in case something inconvenient occurs.
