After the match of the 12th round of La Liga against Rayo Vallecano (0:0), Real Madrid announced the injury of Thibaut Courtois. The 33-year-old Belgian goalkeeper was diagnosed with an injury to the long adductor muscle of his right leg. Due to this, Courtois will miss the matches of the national team of Belgium and is undergoing a detailed medical examination to determine the timing of his recovery.
Should the injury be serious, it will be Lunin, who is currently number two in Real Madrid’s goalkeeping hierarchy, who will get the chance to start in the La Liga match against Elche on November 23 (kick-off 22:00 Kyiv time).
In the current season, Courtois played 16 matches for Real Madrid, conceded 12 goals and kept eight clean sheets. His transfer value, according to Transfermarkt, is 20 million euros.
After 12 rounds, Madrid leads the La Liga standings with 31 points. After the game against Elche, Alonso’s team will travel to Greece for a Champions League match against Olympiakos.
