The newspaper “Marca” reported that Thibaut Courtois will return to participate with Real Madrid earlier than what was determined by doctors and announced by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
According to the Italian, Courtois will be ready to participate in matches after next April 15, but the player is making great progress in training and has fully recovered from his injury.
Marca confirmed that Courtois will be able to participate again in matches before the end of this March, specifically after returning from the international break, which ends on the 27th of the same month.
The Belgian goalkeeper appeared at amazing levels during his individual training last period, and he will return again to group training once the international break ends.
Thus, it is expected that Courtois will be on the bench against Celta Vigo, which is Real Madrid’s first match after the international break, which will take place on March 31.
Courtois’ participation or continued reliance on Andrey Lunin is still ambiguous, but most likely the 31-year-old will need some time and will not be included in important matches until it is confirmed that he returns to his usual level.
