Real Madrid’s goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, is facing a two-week setback due to a hip muscle injury, specifically an abductor injury in his left leg.
Cyber Reporters gathered that this unfortunate turn of events unfolded during the intense 1-1 derby draw against Atletico Madrid, where Courtois was not only injured but also targeted by Atletico fans who threw objects at him.
Courtois’ expected return is slated for mid-October, following the international break.
This means he will miss the upcoming Champions League match against Lille and the La Liga clash with Villarreal.
Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is ready to step in for Courtois, just as he did last season.
It was gathered that Courtois had a remarkable comeback last season, recovering from a severe knee injury to start in Madrid’s Champions League final victory.
His absence will undoubtedly impact Real Madrid’s strategy, particularly with crucial matches against Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona looming.
