Real Madrid have announced their squad for the La Liga away match against Racing Santander. The headline news is the return of first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who previously missed the El Clasico victory due to the flu.
Joining him in the squad is Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who successfully deputized in the 2-1 win over Barcelona. Head coach Jose Mourinho now has both keepers available for selection.
Meanwhile, the team will be without Federico Valverde. The Uruguayan midfielder continues to manage a muscle injury, and the coaching staff have decided not to risk his fitness.
The match between Racing Santander and Real Madrid is scheduled for November 1 at 17:15 Kyiv time.
