Why doesn’t Kepa play against Real Madrid vs. SC Braga of the Champions League 2023-2024?
The expectation was that Kepa would be between the sticks, as already happened this season due to the injury of Belgian Thibaut Courtois. However, at the buzzer the former Athletic Club de Bilbao and Chelsea goalkeeper was left out of the eleven.
Kepa will not feature against SC Braga as he suffered a muscle injury during the pre-match warm-up, so his place in Madrid’s goal will be taken by Ukrainian Andriy Lunin.
Kepa is expected to undergo medical tests next Thursday to determine the extent of his injury.
