Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin will miss the October training camp of the Ukrainian national team due to illness. This was reported several days ago by the UAF press service.
Shakhtar goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk was called to the blue-yellows' camp instead.
The Spanish resource edatv.news writes that there is another reason why Lunin did not go to the camp of the Ukrainian national team. However, the Ukrainian publication refutes this statement.

Lunin will miss the matches of the Ukrainian national team in October
According to the resource, Lunin allegedly refused to go to the Ukrainian national team in order not to miss the opportunity and convince Carlo Ancelotti that he is ready to fight for a place in the starting lineup with number one Thibaut Courtois.
It is noted that the Ukrainian goalkeeper implemented the same strategy as his teammate Kylian Mbappe. The 25-year-old forward decided not to go to the France national team camp for the Nations League matches in order to focus on his recovery.
But the Ukrainian Football publication, citing its own sources, claims that this is not true.
It is reported that Lunin as a result of the poisoning developed a viral infection. Doctors from Real Madrid and the Ukrainian national team are in contact and have informed their Ukrainian colleagues of the exact information about his condition.
On the eve of the Ukrainian national team training camp he had a temperature of 39.5, nausea and continues to feel unwell. That is why he will not be able to take part in the training process.
At the end of September, Thibaut Courtois was injured in the Madrid derby against Atletico. In the starting eleven for the following matches, he was replaced by Lunin. In particular, the Ukrainian defended the colors of the Galacticos in the Champions League match against Lille and in La Liga against Villarreal.
Recall that Serhiy Rebrov called up 25 players for the October Nations League matches, but the list underwent significant changes over the week, as six players dropped out due to injuries and illnesses.
