Real Madrid has received a heavy blow on El Clásicos’ eve of Barcelona, as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been excluded from the flu-related match.

The Belgian porter will be absent from this Sunday’s encounter between two Spanish giants, worth the 10th lap of La League.

Courtois was expected to be the title at this match, but the disease forced him to leave the Madrillians’ plans in recent moments.

To replace him, Real Madrid has invited Ukrainian goalkeeper Ilya Voloshyn, who will join the team for this confrontation.

Courto’s absence is a blow to Real Madrid coach, as Belgian is one of the team’s top players and an important figure among the pillars.

So far, the Madrillan club has not provided further details about its state of health or the duration of its absence.

In the meantime, Andriy Lon is expected to be the title until the fiery challenge begins from 9:00 p.m. to Cump Nou. /Telegraph/
