Who will start in goal for Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich? | OneFootball

An insight into the plans of the coaching staff at La Liga giants Real Madrid for the club’s upcoming showdown with Bayern Munich has today been forthcoming.

The info comes courtesy of Marca, and surrounds the goalkeeper situation in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad at present.

The subject of the options between the posts in Spain’s capital has of course returned to the forefront of the headlines over the course of recent days.

As much comes amid widespread confirmation that long-term injury absentee Thibaut Courtois is in line for his first appearance of the campaign this weekend, against Cádiz.

The Belgian is understood to have looked close to his brilliant best in training at Valdebebas of late, giving rise to something of a conundrum for boss Ancelotti.

With Courtois still considered the no.1 shot-stopper option in Real’s squad, murmurs have begun to spread that the former Chelsea man could go on to replace Andriy Lunin in Los Merengues’ goal over the final weeks of the campaign.

If the latest word doing the rounds in the early hours of Friday is anything to go by, however, then as much will not be forthcoming in the club’s impending return to action on the continent.

As per the aforementioned Marca, Lunin will maintain his starting berth for next week’s Champions League semi-final return leg meeting with Bayern Munich.
