Real Madrid star to miss two to three weeks

November 10, 2023
Real Madrid have been hit, while Kepa Arrizabalaga will be out for two to three weeks. The Spanish goalkeeper suffered an injury during the warm-up before their Champions League clash with Braga. According to The Athletic, Kepa has a thigh problem and will miss the club's next few games. The Chelsea loanee is set to miss La Liga games against Valencia and Cadiz as they part ways for an international break following this weekend's clash.

Kepa is looking for a permanent transfer to Real Madrid and the injury could affect his chances. He was signed on loan after first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois suffered an ACL injury. At the start of the season, Kepa was quoted by GOAL as saying: "We started the season well and it was a long season but we are on the right track.

"So I want to say it was a positive start, but I know what level for my performance this season will be given at the end of the campaign, I said it and I still hope it stays the same." . Andriy Lunin replaced Kepa in the starting XI on Wednesday and is impressive. He saved a penalty in the 3-0 win and will start the next game.
