Kepa Arrizabalaga was in the initial line-up for the Champions League clash against Braga.

However, Kepa didn’t get to feature, as Andriy Lunin was in goal all 90 minutes.

Kepa Arrizabalaga suffered an injury in the warm-up for the game against Braga, and Carlo Ancelotti had to turn to Lunin.

Kepa will now undergo tests on Thursday to determine the extent of the injury to Kepa.

Lunin was on fire against Braga, as the Ukrainian goalkeeper parried an early penalty kick and made three more saves.

Goals from Brahim Diaz, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo sealed a fine win for Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Lunin has made 3 appearances for Real Madrid this season, keeping two clean sheets.
