On Thursday, Real Madrid reported that Thibaut Courtois had suffered a serious ACL injury, which will almost certainly rule him out for the entire 2023-24 campaign before it had even begun.
The news was a major blow for both Real Madrid and Courtois. The Belgian international has been undisputed number one at Los Blancos ever since joining, and he has been among their best players during that time.
It means that Andriy Lunin will start Saturday’s LaLiga opener against Athletic Club, and Diario AS have reported that the Ukrainian dreams of taking over the gloves from Courtois for this season.
However, that will not happen, as Real Madrid are in the process of finding a new first-choice keeper. David De Gea and Yassine Bounou are the leading candidates, with the latter being the primary option for Carlo Ancelotti and his staff.
Ancelotti has reportedly been far from pleased with Lunin during his second spell as head coach of Real Madrid, and he had hoped he would be sold this summer. As such, he has little trust in him, so it makes sense that he won’t stay as number one for this season.

opportunity indeed with still our porous defence? Lunin is still gathering momentum and not at this time to do trial/error. His time will definitely come.
Like Kepa isn’t try and error There’s a reason we signed lunin

Give trust to Lunin. Let he prove himself. Courtois struggled a lot at the first time. Give him a shot, he will learn from it. If he is not good enough, you can set the academic goalie

Lunin is a weak gk and he can never be N1 at Madrid. The board will bring some new keeper instead.
