Lunin Retains Starting Spot as Courtois' Return Delayed
Real Madrid will continue relying on Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin as first-choice keeper Thibaut Courtois remains sidelined with injury. The Belgian international has now missed three consecutive matches since picking up a knock while on international duty.
According to Football España, Courtois hasn't yet returned to full training with the squad. Initial reports suggested he might feature in Saturday's La Liga clash against Leganés, however that didn't happened.
Today it became known that Belgian shot-stopper failed to participate in today's final training session, confirming Andriy Lunin will start in goal at the Copa del Rey game against Real Sociedad. This match will take place tomorrow and start at 21-30 CET.
