A seldom-seen member of the goalkeeper ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid is in line for a rare starting berth in the club’s next outing.
This comes amid the understanding that Andriy Lunin is primed to feature from the off on Wednesday.
Real Madrid will of course be back in action tomorrow evening. Fresh off a much-needed return to winning ways in La Liga over the weekend, Los Blancos are set to kick their Copa del Rey campaign into gear.
A trip to minnows Talavera lies in wait, with a spot in the competition’s Last-16 on the line.
Xabi Alonso is expected to make use of the opportunity to rotate his XI for the night, amid what has been a hectic recent run of fixtures for his side.
And one such change, it is understood, will come between the posts.
As per a report from The Athletic:
‘For the Copa del Rey match, the plan is for Andriy Lunin to start in goal, with Thibaut Courtois rested.’
