The Real Madrid player, victim of a serious knee injury in August, provided an update on his physical condition to Belgian journalists who interviewed him. ” LThe first day was difficult, I shed a few tears. Then I had to make the switch and focus on revalidation. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to train and play again in May. I would like to play a match before the end of the season but the first idea is to concentrate on next season because the most important thing is to avoid a possible relapse,” explained the 31-year-old doorman.
For Belgian media, see Courtois focus on “next season” is a very bad signal before Euro 2024. It is Koen Casteels, the Wolfsburg goalkeeper, who is acting in the absence of the number 1 at his post. And the Last Hour recalls that Courtois left the Red Devils gathering in anger in June, when the new coach Domenico Tedesco chose to entrust the captain’s armband to Romelu Lukaku rather than him. Courteous at the Euro with Belgium, it is therefore not won.
