Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined Real Madrid on a season-long loan to replace the injured Thibaut Courtois, the two clubs announced on Monday. "Real Madrid and Chelsea FC have agreed on the loan of player Kepa Arrizabalaga until June 30, 2024," the Spanish club said in a statement. Belgian star Courtois, 31, will miss most of the season after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Real Madrid's new 18-year-old signing Arda Guler has been sidelined after undergoing knee surgery, the LaLiga club said on Monday, making him the third player they have lost to a knee problem.

Real Madrid defender Eder Militao is set to miss the majority of the season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury, days after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois suffered the same problem. The Brazil defender went down hurt in Los Blancos' 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Saturday at San Mames, their first match of the season in La Liga and left the pitch in tears. "(Militao) has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee," Madrid said Sunday in a statement.
Eder Militao became the second Real Madrid player to suffer an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury this week, after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, and the LaLiga club said on Sunday that the defender would require surgery.
