Why Courtois does not play in the Clásico
The absence of Thibaut Courtois is due to a flu process that has left him out of the squad. His absence opens the door for Lunin, tasked with defending the white goal at the Camp Nou. Madrid also faces the match without Vinícius, suspended, and without Rodrygo, Asensio, and Mendy due to injury.
