Andriy Lunin’s reaction upon learning about Courtois’ new knee injury: “It’s a tough break…”

This is how the Ukrainian goalkeeper has reacted to the news of the day at Valdebebas.

Andriy Lunin has been one of the protagonists of the season. The Ukrainian has earned the trust of the club thanks to his excellent performances. Today, with Courtois’ injury, he knows he will be the starting goalkeeper in the crucial stretch of the campaign.

At the moment, he is focused on the Ukrainian national team. Although Courtois’ absence will give him more playing time, the truth is that he was not pleased with the news at all. Despite competing for the same position, both maintain a good relationship.

“It’s incredibly bad luck, I’m very sorry, he’s a good friend…,” Lunin has commented to his closest people. Thus, it is evident that he will miss training with him, as they had been doing in recent days.

The meniscus tear in Courtois’ left knee has not been well received at the institution. He was already counting the days to return to action. Although not as serious as the previous injury, it is evident that it represents a significant psychological blow.

Real Madrid’s plan As we have already mentioned on Defensa Central, Florentino Pérez has no intention of signing a goalkeeper. If Courtois has a good preseason, the club will obviously continue to trust him.

In this way, the sports management will only turn to the market if the feelings with Thibaut are not the best. He won’t play for the rest of the season, but he has several months ahead to get back to 100%.
