Real Madrid coach replaces Ukrainian goalkeeper with 18-year-old Spaniard ahead of Champions League final
Ukraine goalkeeper Andrii Lunin missed the team's second training day ahead of the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, which will take place at London Wembley Stadium on June 1. Our compatriot is still unavailable due to a cold and fever.
This was reported by Marca. Due to the Ukrainian's illness, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti brought in the youth team's goalkeeper, 18-year-old Fran Gonzalez, instead. It is expected that Lunin will recover for the match against the German team, but Thibaut Courtois will take his place in the Spanish goal.
At the same time, Ancelotti noted that he has not yet decided on the main goalkeeper for the game. "I really like all this talk about the goalkeeper, so this week, when I have nothing to do, I like to listen to it. We will make a decision before the match," the Italian specialist said.
Earlier, the media named Real Madrid's starting lineup for the Champions League final, which did not include Lunin. It is known that the Ukrainian is ready to extend his contract with the Madrid club.
