Defensa Central reports that Carlo Ancelotti was unable to select a permanent starting goalkeeper for Real Madrid for the remainder of the season. At the outset, the Italian coach expressed his intention to base his decision on the team’s performance in the 1-0 loss to Alaves. Nevertheless, until the conclusion of the season, Ancelotti will reportedly continue to alternate between Kepa Arrizabalaga and Andriy Lunin.
To remind you, Thibaut Courtois, the starting goalkeeper for Real Madrid, sustained a cruciate ligament tear that will prevent him from playing for the remainder of the season and the 2024 European Championship.
In the current season, Lunin has played in 9 matches across all competitions, conceding 6 goals, while Kepa has featured in 15 matches, conceding 12 goals.
Real Madrid concluded 2023 as the leader of La Liga. However, they are only ahead of Girona based on additional criteria.
