Real Madrid vs Valencia: Official Squad Announced For La Liga Match

Real Madrid will face relegation-threatened Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 5. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has named his squad for the game with a surprise at the goalkeeper position.

Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is still ruled out with a muscle injury but hopes to return for the Champions League game against Arsenal. Second-choice Andriy Lunin has deputized for the last two games but has picked up a muscle injury against Real Sociedad.

The question was whether the medical team would use an injection so Lunin could play the game with less discomfort or play 19-year-old Fran Gonzalez. Lunin is in the squad for the game, with the club likely seeing how he feels on matchday.
