Another injury at Real Madrid

Following Thibaut Courtois's injury, one of the big questions circulating in the locker room was when he would be able to return, how long this setback would cost him. We now know how many days the Belgian goalkeeper will have to spend away from the soccer field.

What will Courtois miss?

According to Real Madrid’s medical statement, Courtois suffered a muscle injury, which is more serious than expected. As a result, it has been confirmed that he will be out for the Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid next Sunday, as well as for the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich

How long would he be out, and what would happen at Real Madrid?

The goalkeeper is expected to be out for an estimated month and a half, which will have a significant impact on Arbeloa's team, as Courtois had proven to be a key player in their tactical approach. For a Real Madrid team plagued by injuries, the loss of their first-choice goalkeeper is not good news, given the importance and difficulty of the Los Merengues' upcoming matches, especially those in the Champions League. It is very likely that Arbeloa will be forced to use Lunin to replace the injured goalkeeper in matches where Thibaut would normally start. However, not everything is bleak for the team, as the international break is approaching, which would allow them a break from matches and enable Real Madrid's first-choice goalkeeper to make a full recovery.
