Lunin stood in for Courtois earlier in the month after the Belgian suffered a minor hip injury.

Rodrygo appeared hurt during the final stages of the win over Dortmund and Madrid coach Ancelotti said the winger had a “muscular injury”.

Spanish media reported Wednesday Rodrygo is poised to miss the game against the league leaders with a hamstring issue.

The champions, second, trail Hansi Flick’s Barcelona by three points.
