For Thibaut Courtois, it’s the tile. On the sidelines of the resumption of the Spanish championship with Real Madrid against Athletic Bilbao, the Belgian goalkeeper was injured this Thursday in training. After leaving the field in tears and evacuated on a stretcher, the 31-year-old player was quick to learn the diagnosis: he is suffering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will therefore be sidelined for long months.
A real blow for the Merengue who have been working behind the scenes to find him a replacement. In the meantime, the Red Devils goalkeeper has received support from one of his ex-teammates at the White House. Transferred to Al Ittihad this summer, Karim Benzema posted a photo of his former club partner on his Instagram account, wishing him a speedy recovery.
