Real Madrid’s Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrei Lunin fell ill before the Champions League final
Ukrainian goalkeeper of Real Madrid Andrey Lunin fell ill before the Champions League final of the 2023/2024 season against Borussia Dortmund. Diario AS reports this.
According to the source, the player was absent from training on May 27 due to fever and temperature. It is noted that he risks missing the decisive match of the Champions League. At the same time, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti said Lunin will be able to recover.
Lunin became Real Madrid’s first choice goalkeeper in the summer of 2023 after Belgian Thibaut Courtois tore his cruciate knee ligament in training. A month ago, the Belgian suffered another injury, damaging his meniscus. During this time, Los Blancos, with the Ukrainian at the goal, won the Spanish Super Cup and also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Lunin moved to Real Madrid from Zorya Luhansk in the summer of 2018. At the same time, Courtois joined the team, so Lunin went on loan.
