Real Madrid will host Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabéu in the 27th round of the Spanish La Liga.
Not included in the squad for the match are the Blancos' main goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and leading defender Antonio Rüdiger.
Details. According to Dario AS, the 32-year-old goalkeeper is experiencing a slight muscle overload. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti decided not to risk Courtois' health.
As for Rüdiger, he recently had the flu. He has fully recovered from the illness, but the coach decided to give him a rest.
It is worth noting that the position in Real's goal will be taken by the reserve goalkeeper — Ukrainian Andriy Lunin.
Reminder. Earlier, we reported that Rüdiger is not intending to swap Real for Saudi Arabia. His main priority is to stay at Real, as he loves the club, and his teammates and fans love him.
