Real Madrid goalkeeper Lucas Canizares has been called up by Carlo Ancelotti to play in the Club World Cup. The academy player asked to leave in the winter as he was not getting playing time. However, he could now win a title with the first team.

In the world of football, surprising situations can happen. Real Madrid goalkeeper Lucas Canizares has lived one of these experiences in the last few hours.

The goalkeeper is the son of Santiago Canizares, who was a legend at Madrid. The 20-year-old asked to leave the academy in the winter as he was getting little playing time.

The goalie expected to play a lot more this season after recovering from the injury he suffered in 2021. Canizares will have to keep working to reach the level of Mario de Luis, who is the key goalkeeper in Madrid's academy.

However, Real Madrid asked him to stay at the academy. Carlo Ancelotti has named him in the squad-list for the match against Al Ahly in the Club World Cup. The Italian manager needs an extra goalkeeper to replace Thibaut Courtois, who is injured.
