Thibaut Courtois seriously injured in training with Real Madrid: the verdict is in.
Hard blow for Real Madrid just over 48 hours from the start of Madrid in La Liga. In full preparation, Thibaut Courtois injured his knee. The Belgian goalkeeper was forced to leave Merengues training prematurely and he left the pitch in tears. The Merengue staff feared the worst and the diagnosis confirmed Madrid’s fears: the Red Devil is suffering from a ruptured ligament and he is going to have surgery.
“Thibaut Courtois was diagnosed with a torn anterior ligaments in his left knee. He will be operated on in the next few days.” announces Real Madrid. The duration of unavailability has not yet been specified, but it is to be expected that he will be on the sidelines for many months. Impossible to see the doorman on the pitch again before 2024.
Therefore, Carlo Ancelotti can only rely on Andriy Luni. While the professional squad does not have a third official goalkeeper at the moment, Real could also be looking for a new goalkeeper to compensate for the absence of Thibaut Courtois. Especially since the Ukrainian did not give satisfaction during the pre-season of Madrid.
