Real Madrid Set for Arsenal Clash with Key Injury Absences

Real Madrid have arrived in London ahead of their crucial Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal, but the Spanish giants will be without injured goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian, who was initially included in the squad for the weekend’s match against Valencia, has stayed behind in Spain to continue his recovery.

This injury leaves Carlo Ancelotti with no alternative options in goal. As a result, Thibaut Courtois will start against Arsenal, despite the Belgian shot-stopper not being at his peak form.

In defense, David Alaba will be deployed on the left side, a role he has been filling recently as part of the team’s defensive adjustments.

Unfortunately for Real Madrid, the injury list continues to grow. Aurélien Tchouaméni will miss the match due to suspension, while Dani Ceballos and Ferland Mendy are still sidelined with injuries and have not recovered in time for the quarter-final.
