Real Madrid received a new and surprising blow, after Thibaut Courtois suffered a muscle injury that will keep him out of the Clasico against Barcelona.
Rodrigo’s absence from the Clasico has already been confirmed after his injury in the Borussia Dortmund match in the Champions League, in which Courtois participated in full.
According to an official statement from Real Madrid, Courtois complained of an injury to the adductor muscle in his left leg, and underwent tests on Wednesday that proved that he needed rest.
According to the Spanish newspapers, it is certain that the Belgian goalkeeper will not participate in the match against Barcelona scheduled for next Saturday at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Thus, Andriy Lunin will have the opportunity to return to protect the goal of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, knowing that he played in the Clasico 3 times last season and appeared in an ideal way.
It is noteworthy that the “The Athletic” network announced that Courtois will be absent for a period ranging between two and three weeks from Real Madrid.
It is noteworthy that Courtois is Real Madrid’s fourth absence from the Clasico after David Alaba, Dani Carvajal and Rodrygo, and doubts remain about Brahim Diaz’s participation in the anticipated match.
