Belgian goalkeeper suffers quadriceps muscle injury, uncertain for Champions League quarter-finals.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has suffered a muscle injury in the anterior rectum of his right quadriceps, casting doubt over his participation in the upcoming Champions League quarter-final fixtures against Bayern Munich, according to Cope.
The Belgian shot-stopper could miss both legs of the high-stakes tie, leaving Los Blancos with a crucial goalkeeping dilemma. Real Madrid’s medical staff will conduct further evaluations next week to determine the severity of the injury and Courtois’ potential return.
This development is a significant concern for manager Carlo Ancelotti, as the 31-year-old has been a key figure in Real’s European campaign and a standout performer in La Liga. Madrid now faces uncertainty between the posts heading into a vital clash with one of Europe’s most formidable sides.
