Real Madrid loses its two guards before Valence and Arsenal. Courtois and Lunin injured, Fran Gonzalez could start under pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a time when each match can switch a season, the Real Madrid<\/strong> crosses an area of \u200b\u200bcritical turbulence. In a few days, Carlo Ancelotti<\/strong> saw his two main guards leaving the workforce due to injury. Thibaut Courtois<\/strong>already forfeit for several weeks, will not be back in time. Worse still, Andriy Lunin<\/strong> has just undergone a muscle tear.<\/p>\n

The news fell as the club is preparing for a Perilous displacement in Valence<\/strong> followed by a Champions League quarterfinals against Arsenal<\/strong>. Two meetings where the absence of an experienced goalkeeper could cost expensive.<\/p>\n

Thibaut Courtois, an absence that drains<\/h2>\n

The Belgian porter, injured during the international break<\/strong>seemed close to a return. But his non-presence in the face of Real Sociedad revives concern. His muscle injury, deemed minor at the start, takes a more serious turn. To date, no certainty is hovering over its availability for the match against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

🚨 Ancelotti: \u201cCourtois is much better, we think he can make it on Tuesday\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have doubts about Lunin, who had a slight discomfort. If he’s not well, I have total confidence in Fran\u201d. pic.twitter.com\/yinRhTOFZ3<\/a><\/p>\n

Courtois, pillar of the team during the previous European campaigns, is sorely lacking in the cages. His absence weakens a team already plagued by many defensive tensions.<\/p>\n

Andriy Lunin in turn affected: an unforeseen blow<\/h2>\n

Andriy Lunin, who assured the interim solidity, also joined the infirmary. A muscle tear will take him away from the field for several weeks<\/strong>. This injury occurs at a critical moment. He had just chained several high -level games and embodied a reliable solution.<\/p>\n

This unavailability complicates the choices of Carlo Ancelotti<\/strong>which finds itself without high level alternative to a few days of two crucial confrontations.<\/p>\n

French: a 19 -year -old thrown into the big bath<\/h2>\n

Faced with this unprecedented situation, The young Fran Gonzalez could be established in Valence. <\/strong>At just 19 years old, this porter trained at F\u00e1brica is preparing to experience a baptism of fire of rare intensity. His lack of experience in professional competition raises questions. The Madrid staff will have to supervise it with rigor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
