Most certainly holder against Valence, this Saturday (4:15 p.m.) for the 30th day of Liga, the young goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez could be in the Madrid cages against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter -final on Tuesday, April 8. The reason? Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin are both injured.
Real Madrid faces workforce problems, especially among guards. Already deprived of Thibaut Courtois, embarrassed by a painful right knee, the Merengues lost Andriy Lunin Tuesday evening during the semi-final return of the King's Cup against the Real Sociedad (4-4 AP, 1-0 in the first leg). From the 52nd minute of play, hit in a calf, the Ukrainian porter continued the meeting despite the pain. But, after medical examinations, it was noted that the goalkeeper was the victim of a micro -fee of the right sole.
Bad news for the Merengues since this injury should prevent him from playing the match against Valencia, this Saturday, on the 30th day of Liga. But even more … If the two doormen are not restored on Tuesday April 8, Fran Gonzalez could play the quarter -final first leg of the Champions League against Arsenal.
For the moment, nothing is official. Thibaut Courtois hopes to be back for this event. Victim of regular right knee swelling, he currently follows a muscle strengthening protocol, while Lunin should undergo infiltration. But the latter is still under the threat of an absence of three weeks.
Fran Gonzalez's idol is… courteous
Even if the two doors dominate the Madrid hierarchy, Franz Gonzalez could therefore be established on Saturday against Valence, or even longer. He would thus honor his first selection with the first team. “Courtois can play, Lunin can play and if none of them is available … Fran Gonzalez will be,” joked Carlo Ancelotti, facing the press. A situation that could ultimately happen faster than expected.
The 19 -year -old goalkeeper, a member of the U21 selection of Spain, is regularly summoned with the pros. He has already played sixteen Spanish third division meetings this season with the Madrid reserve (La Castilla). And, the native of Leon spent his first ten years of training within the local club, Cultura Leoneda, before joining Madrid.
As of this Saturday, already, and most likely next Tuesday, it could be propelled into the holder of the holder of Real Madrid on the lawn of Santiago Bernabéu then at the Emirates Stadium. And, for the little story elsewhere, Courtois is Franz's idol. A nice boost of fate if it replaces it on Saturday.
This Friday evening, Carlo Ancelotti said that his goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois should be ready to face Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday (9 p.m.). If he still feels muscle discomfort in the knee, that should not impact it to keep the Madrid cages at the Emirates.
