Thibaut Courtois Ruled Out of El Clasico; Andriy Lunin to Start for Real Madrid
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been ruled out of the upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona due to flu, confirmed shortly before the match. Illia Voloshyn has been added to the squad as cover, with Andriy Lunin expected to start in goal. This absence poses a challenge for Real Madrid as they aim to close the six-point gap behind league leaders Barcelona, who will also miss midfielder Dani Olmo due to injury. Both teams face key adjustments ahead of this significant La Liga fixture.
