Terrifying news from Carlo Ancelotti on Thibaut Courtois after Atletico
At a press conference after the 1-1 draw at Civitas Metropolitano against Atlético Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti dropped bad news about Thibaut Courtois. Involved in a big incident which led to a temporary interruption of the match in the 63rd minute, the Belgian goalkeeper has another worrying problem.
The Madrid derby kept all its promises this Sunday. In the race to get closer to first place occupied by FC Barcelona, surprisingly beaten this Saturday by Osasuna, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid fought a big battle. In an electric atmosphere with supporters coming to let loose on the Madrid players, including Vinícius, the Colchoneros fought hard to grab the draw point. Indeed, after a nice goal from Éder Militão just after the hour mark and the interruption of the match for around ten minutes, Diego Simeone's team took advantage of the Madrilenians' fatigue to equalize in added time .
Courtois touched in the derby
In a quickly played action, Javi Galán will deliver a precise pass for Ángel Correa, who will equalize in the 90+5th minute. After the match, Carlo Ancelotti appeared in front of the press to give his first impressions of the derby. Just after explaining his late and especially very defensive changes at the end of the match, with two left and right full-backs due to the fatigue of his attackers, the Real Madrid coach slipped some worrying news about Thibaut Courtois.
If we saw the giant Belgian goalkeeper make (long) restarts with his hands or let Federico Valverde make the last clearances of the match, Carlo Ancelotti explains that it is a muscular problem. “ Courtois suffers from a muscular problem. He will be evaluated tomorrow », Announces Ancelotti to the media. In the process, DAZN indeed confirms that the Real Madrid goalkeeper suffers from a muscular problem.
If we will know much more about the seriousness of the problem of the Belgian rock, the Madrilenians can hold their breath, because in the event of worrying confirmation, they will have to deal with Andriy Lunin, who during his last matches, notably at the Euro 2024 with Ukraine, disappointed with his performances. When we know the capital importance of the Madrilenians' upcoming matches, with a big Clasico against Barça in three weeks, we really have to keep our fingers crossed.
