Real Madrid's preparations for the Champions League final were dealt a major blow as Andrei Lunin missed the final with flu and Thibaut Courtois came into goal after missing most of the season.
25-year-old Lunin was Carlo Ancelotti's first choice this season and was the hero of Real Madrid's penalty shootout against Manchester City, but he was unable to train and will travel to Wembley on the day of the final to be on the bench.
“Lunin had the flu, which prevented him from training this week or traveling. He will go on the day of the game and will be on the bench, and Courtois will be in goal,” Ancelotti confirmed before the meeting with Borussia Dortmund.
Despite the fact that Lunin has been loaned to Leganes, Valladolid and Oviedo, Lunin has been a key player for Real Madrid this season in their La Liga title triumph and attempt to win a 15th European Cup.
He took his chance. A serious knee injury kept Courtois out for much of the campaign before he returned a month ago, playing in matches against Cadiz, Granada, Alaves and Real Betis.
Although Courtois' return was welcomed, Lunin remained number one and was selected for Bayern's semi-final matches while his teammate was on the bench. Since then, Courtois has not been included in the Belgium national team for the Euro. Head coach Domenico Tedesco says he is focused on fully fit players, but Courtois insists he is 100 percent ready.
