Courtois Undergoes Successful Surgery for Meniscus Tear
The Belgian goalkeeper underwent surgery for the new knee injury he suffered during training on Tuesday.
Belgian Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid goalkeeper, underwent successful surgery on Wednesday for the torn meniscus in his right knee he suffered during training on Tuesday.
"Our player Thibaut Courtois has been successfully operated on today for a torn meniscus in his right knee under the supervision of the Real Madrid Medical Services. Courtois will begin his recovery process in the coming days," Real Madrid said in a statement.
This injury occurred as Courtois was nearing the end of his recovery from the anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee suffered on August 10.
Training on the field at Real Madrid's Ciudad Deportiva, Courtois felt a crack in what was his healthy knee and left the field in tears before confirming a new knee injury.
Another setback just as Courtois, after seven months out, began to glimpse his return.
At the end of February, he started working with the group, alternating these sessions with individual work, prompting Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti to mark the goalkeeper's return for after the international break. However, the torn meniscus in his right knee will delay his return until next season.
