Courtois Flu Scare: Clasico Clash Potential
25 Oct
Summary
- Courtois recovered from flu, may play in El Clasico.
- Lunin is prepared to step in if Courtois is unfit.
- Real Madrid trails Barcelona by six points in the league.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is now optimistic about participating in Sunday's El Clasico against Barcelona, having recovered from a bout of flu. The club had initially ruled the Belgian international out of the fixture on Sunday morning due to his illness, but he may now travel with the squad.
If Courtois is deemed unfit to play, Andriy Lunin, who has deputized in 43 La Liga matches since 2018 when Courtois was unavailable, stands ready. Real Madrid is proceeding cautiously regarding Courtois's potential start. The team trails league leaders Barcelona by six points but has seen improved results recently with wins over Sevilla and Leipzig.
