Carlo Ancelotti tak membutuhkan kiper baru meski Thibaut Courtois bakal absen panjang membela Real Madrid akibat cedera. Ia percaya sepenuhnya kepada Andriy Lunin.
Opsi kiper pengganti Thibaut Courtois untuk Real Madrid telah mengerucut ke tiga nama. Mereka adalah Yassine Bounou, David de Gea, dan Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou is Real Madrid's No. 1 choice to fill the void created by Thibaut Courtois' injury but the club are still looking for other alternatives due to the high price it would cost to sign the Morocco international, sources confirmed to ESPN's Rodrigo Faez.
Real Madrid suffered a huge blow on the eve of the new La Liga season with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training on Thursday. The 31-year-old Belgium international faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines and will undergo surgery in the coming days, his club said. "Following tests carried out on Thibaut Courtois, he has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee," Madrid said in a statement.

Real Madrid begin life after Karim Benzema looking to wrest back the Spanish title from Barcelona as the La Liga season kicks off this weekend, seemingly content to play the waiting game for Kylian Mbappe. Benzema, the reigning Ballon d'Or, swapped the Santiago Bernabeu for Saudi Arabia in June after 14 seasons in Madrid, where he is second on the club's all-time goalscoring list with 354 -- trailing only Cristiano Ronaldo. In a bid to bridge the 10-point gap that separated them from Barcelona last season, Madrid splashed out 103 million euros ($112 million) on England international Jude Bellingham and swooped for Turkish prodigy Arda Guler.
