Real Madrid boss explains Courtois exclusion for Girona match

Thibaut Courtois was an unused substitute when Real Madrid came back from a goal down to beat Girona 4-1. Asked why the new signing did not start the game, Lopetegui said: "It’s not a situation that’s easy to understand, but it’s simple enough to explain." “I’ve got some really good options in goal and there are no problems in that area. We’ll decide what’s best for each game. “Keylor got the nod today and did very well. There’s great competition and that makes us stronger in the goalkeeping department. I’ve got some thoughts in my mind, but I’m not going to share them. “Over the course of the season, I’ll look for solutions to solve the next immediate challenge.”
