Real Madrid goalkeeper Kepa facing spell on sidelines

Real Madrid goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is facing three weeks on the sidelines.

Kepa suffered a thigh injury in the warm-up for last night's Champions League win against Braga. He was replaced by Andriy Lunin in the starting line-up.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti said after the 3-0 victory: "He had discomfort in the warm-up and was not comfortable to play.

"We put in Lunin, which has helped us win this match. He made a decisive stop in the penalty and has made a full match.

"This means, adding Brahim's game and Lucas Vázquez's that the squad is very healthy and that we can fight in all competitions."
