Real Madrid's star goalkeeper will miss another Champions League match

Real Madrid's goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, will not perform in the UEFA Champions League match against Napoli, scheduled for Wednesday, November 28.

The “Royal Club” has announced the squad for the upcoming European cup match, revealing the absence of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is sidelined due to injury. Ukrainian goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, is likely to take his place in the gates.

It's worth noting that Real Madrid's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, has expressed a desire to retain Kepa Arrizabalaga in the team on a permanent basis. Currently, Kepa is playing for Real Madrid on a one-year loan. If the transfer is successful, Kepa is expected to become the second-choice goalkeeper after Thibaut Courtois, while Andriy Lunin would depart the team.

In the current season, Kepa has featured in 12 matches for Real Madrid across various competitions, conceding 9 goals. The player's contract with Chelsea is valid until June 2025, and his estimated market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €18 million.
