After the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against Manchester City, an initial medical examination of Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois revealed a tear in the muscle of his right leg.
Idman.Biz reports this with reference to the Spanish publication AS.
According to the source, Courtois' participation in the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid in the 29th round of La Liga is practically ruled out. The severity of the injury is currently being assessed. If it is not a minor injury, Thibaut may miss the UEFA Champions League quarter-final matches against Bayern on April 7 and 14.
It is reported that Courtois felt pain during pre-match warm-up exercises. He went to the locker room and informed the medical staff. After a brief examination, he decided to sacrifice and play, but at halftime he was replaced by reserve goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
