Real Madrid will face Real Sociedad tomorrow in the Copa del Rey semifinals, and the coaching staff has decided to rotate the squad.
Details: According to Relevo, two key players for Los Blancos will not be in the starting lineup for this match.
First-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be rested, with Andriy Lunin set to start in his place. Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti has opted to give central midfielder Federico Valverde a break.
This season, Lunin has played in eight matches, featuring in all previous rounds of the Copa del Rey.
