A member of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid is set to be afforded his first appearance of the campaign tomorrow night.
The player in question? Andriy Lunin.
This comes with Xabi Alonso set to be forced into a change between the posts for his side’s upcoming meeting with Olympiacos.
Real Madrid announced their squad to make the trip to Athens earlier today, with first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois nowhere to be seen.
The Belgian has since been confirmed to have come down with a case of Gastroenteritis.
And as much is set to open the door for his understudy to secure some long overdue time on the pitch.
Andriy Lunin has for his part not taken to the grass in a competitive setting on even a single occasion across the season to date.
On Wednesday, though, this situation is set to change, with the Ukrainian tasked with playing his part in Real Madrid’s search for a first win in four across all competitions.
