The Belgium international suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at training this week and is set to undergo surgery, which will keep out for a lengthy period.According to Marca, Los Blancos have now identified five goalkeepers who could replace the Belgian shot-stopper as they look to challenge on all fronts once again this season.

Former Manchester United star David de Gea is the first name on the first list and is the most 'logical' choice, according to Marca, as he is experienced and also a free agent. Next on the reported is list fellow Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is not Chelsea's outright number one after the club signed Robert Sanchez last week.

The other three players on Madrid's short-list include Morocco and Sevilla star Yassine Bounou, Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili and Dinamo Zagreb shot-stopper Dominik Livakovic. Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti says the club have to think about bringing in a new club for the campaign."We have to think about it, and we have until [August] 31. After Lunin, we have young keepers like [Lucas] Cañizares and Fran [Gonzalez]. The season is very long. Fran is 17. If we think about signing a keeper it's about numbers."
