Everything is falling apart for Andriy Lunin. Not only does the return of Thibaut Courtois jeopardize his chances of starting in the Champions League final, but Courtois himself is also not in good health.
Indeed, the Ukrainian international is suffering from the flu. However, it was reported on Wednesday that the medical staff has allowed him to train.
However, he did so alone, without mingling with the group, according to information reported by AS.
While he’s doing his best to be part of the team, bad news has just come in.
According to Cope, Andriy Lunin is unlikely to travel with the club’s group for the final.
Internally, they are considering keeping him away until Saturday’s final. The plan would be for him to take a separate plane to avoid infecting other players. At this rate, it might seem like Lunin is almost ruled out for the final on Saturday, June 1.
At the moment, the trend seems to lean towards Thibaut Courtois starting in this big final in three days.
Out of contract, Lunin is now on the verge of extending his stay at Real Madrid, where he has proven he is much more than just a backup.
His crucial role in the victory against Manchester City confirms his status as a world-class goalkeeper and hints at a promising future for the young Ukrainian player.
