Carlo Ancelotti surprised many with the choice of goalkeeper for Saturday’s match against Real Betis.
Despite previously claiming that Kepa Arrizabalaga would return to the starting position after injury, the Italian started the match with Andriy Lun
Lunin, who has been excellent for Real Madrid in recent weeks, produced another strong performance, making five saves as Los Blancos moved away from Sevilla with a point.
This could mean he is now in control of the number one spot in the coming weeks.
However, Lunin will not start Real Madrid’s next game, which is against Union Berlin in the Champions League, on Tuesday.
Cope have reported that Kepa will be welcomed by Ancelotti, meaning he will make his first appearance since the goalless draw with Rayo Vallecano at the start of November.
Lunin looks set to simply be rested before returning to the lineup next weekend, or Ancelotti could give Kepa a chance to show he deserves to be number one.
