Real Madrid announces Courtois’ final injury diagnosis.. and MARCA reveals the expected duration of his absence

Very bad news for Real Madrid. Thibaut Courtois, one of the team’s most important players and the impregnable fortress last season, was injured in training this morning, and left him crying on a stretcher.

The affected area, according to Radio Cadena Coupe, is the cruciate ligament of the knee. According to the information received from this radio, the Belgian had withdrawn from the exercises in tears. A possible injury greatly affects Real Madrid before the start of La Liga.

Feelings are not optimistic in the white sports city. Courtois is one of the best players in the world and filling a gap in the squad is no easy feat for the club if the worst of the omens are confirmed.

The Belgian footballer may have to miss 5 or 7 months. In this situation, Real Madrid must decide whether to start looking for a new goalkeeper on the market or decide to trust Lunin as a goalkeeper until mid-February or March.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper has yet to suffer a serious injury in his entire career. Last year, he played 43 matches, distributed between La Liga, the European Champions League and the King’s Cup.
