Wednesday 18-03-2026
Real Madrid continues to monitor the condition of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois following his injury during the match against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo."

During the white team's match at the Etihad Stadium, Courtois had to leave the field at halftime due to pain in his right leg. Álvaro Arbeloa replaced him as a precaution. The club's initial examination revealed that the goalkeeper is suffering from a strain in the right inner thigh muscle.

Courtois is scheduled to undergo thorough medical examinations tomorrow, Thursday, to determine the extent of his injury and his return date to the field, in coordination with Real Madrid's medical staff. These examinations will reveal whether the goalkeeper is ready to participate in the capital derby against Atletico Madrid next Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The newspaper indicates that Courtois' current situation remains uncertain, and the final picture is expected to become clear after the medical examination results, to determine whether the goalkeeper will be available for Arbeloa to face the Rojiblancos team.
