Madrid start to prepare for Champions League final without Lunin

Real Madrid are now preparing for the most important game of the season, the Champions League final at Wembley against Borussia Dortmund. Carlo Ancelotti's men face a decisive week.

On the other hand, the big absentee from the morning session was Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian goalkeeper was unable to take the field due to a fever. David Alaba and Aurelien Tchouameni, who Ancelotti has already said will miss the final, were also absent.

On another note, Lunin's rival for the starting line-up against Borussia, Thibaut Courtois, has done specific work. Everything suggests that the Belgian will be the Italian coach's choice after recovering from two injuries, one in each knee. 

Also present at the training session was Real Madrid's reserve team player Jeremy de Leon. The Puerto Rican has been part of several of this year's squad for the top continental competition. Some say he is a talisman for Ancelotti.
