During the intense Madrid derby that took place the previous week, Thibaut Courtois was the target of many foul items that were thrown at him by supporters of Atletico Madrid. This caused him to become the focus of attention. Immediately after the conclusion of the game, the Belgian was experiencing soreness in his muscles.
A short time later, Real Madrid made the announcement that the nature of Courtois’ injury had been established. They said that the goalkeeper had, in fact, sustained a muscular knock during the match against Atletico Madrid.
Despite the fact that Courtois has been out for the last two matches for Real Madrid due to an injury, supporters are keeping their fingers crossed that he will return to play at the conclusion of the international break.
It seems expected that Courtois will be able to participate in the match against Celta Vigo.
To that end, a new report from AS (h/t RM4Arab) has provided a significant update on Courtois’ fitness, hinting that the Belgian might be back in time for Real Madrid’s next encounter. This information was provided according to the article.
On October 19, Real Madrid will play their next game, which will be a match against Celta Vigo. The defending champions will be traveling to Balaidos to play their match.
It has been confirmed by the report that Courtois will be able to participate in that game, which indicates that he should take Andriy Lunin’s spot in the goal during that match.
This has the potential to be a significant boost for Real Madrid, as Courtois has repeatedly shown that he is an essential member of the club’s roster.
In particular, the timing of Courtois’ comeback is significant, especially when considering the forthcoming set of matches that Real Madrid will be playing.
In point of fact, after the international break, the team that now holds the title of European champion will be placed in challenging matches against Celta Vigo, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona.
Courtois’s availability, then, might go a long way toward strengthening Real Madrid’s defense, which was further weakened by Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury. Courtois’s presence could further strengthen Real Madrid’s defense.
