Kepa Arrizabalaga Joins Real Madrid on Season-long Loan From Chelsea | Football/Soccer

Real Madrid have signed Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan until the end of the season. 

His presentation as a Real Madrid player will take place tomorrow afternoon. 

It comes after Thibaut Courtois suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training which could rule him out until the end of the campaign. 

The injury to their No 1 leaves Los Blancos short-stocked in the goalkeeping department with 24-year-old back-up Andriy Lunin the only other option, so Kepa is likely to go straight into the team. 

Kepa was missing from Chelsea's opening-day draw with Liverpool and new signing Robert Sanchez started between the sticks for the Blues.
