Ukrainian Andriy Lunin felt discomfort after the cup match against Real Sociedad, and two days before the match of Madrid’s Real against Valencia, his participation remains in question, writes Relevo.
Andriy LuninLunin is working on recovery, but given that Thibaut Courtois also remains in the infirmary (he will try to return for the match against Arsenal), the “whites” dressing room is already considering the option that the goal will be defended by 19-year-old club academy graduate Fran Gonzalez.
The source clarifies that the Ukrainian has issues with his calf muscle, and the pain did not disappear even on Wednesday—a rest day. The injury is not serious, but it causes discomfort that prevents Lunin from playing at a hundred percent. Despite this, both the Ukrainian himself and the coaching staff hope that he will manage to recover in time.
The final decision will be made tomorrow during the pre-match training. It is then that Lunin will test himself, and it will become clear who will take the field in the starting lineup.
