Earlier this week, media reports said that Lunin, who excelled in the previous rounds of the tournament, fell ill a few days before the final.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper was unable to travel with his teammates to the British capital on Thursday, and 24 hours later, the Royal Team coach, Carlo Ancelotti, confirmed that he would not participate in the start against Dortmund, as he would be replaced by Thibaut Courtois, who returned from injury.
A few hours before the start of the final match at Wembley Stadium, Lunin joined the rest of his teammates, according to the Football Spain website.
The source confirmed that Lunin will not be a starter against Dortmund, but he will receive his share of praise if Real Madrid wins its fifteenth title on Saturday evening.
Lunin performed brilliantly throughout the tournament, and was decisive in winning on penalties over Manchester City in the quarter-finals.
