Lunin’s first match for Real this season is expected... in January

The Ukrainian goalkeeper of Madrid’s «Real» Andriy Lunin is still without game time: he has not played a single match for his club this season, having no chance to displace Thibaut Courtois from the starting lineup. And it seems that this situation will not change anytime soon.

According to Marca, the 26-year-old Ukrainian is expected to hit the field only next year. According to the publication, Lunin is planned to be given the opportunity to play in Real’s opening match in the Copa del Rey for the current season — within the 1/16 final of the tournament, which will take place in January.
