1 p.m. after the derby, Real Madrid released the bad news about Thibaut Courtois

The Madrid derby left its mark on Carlo Ancelotti's squad. Having gone through all the emotions during the match against Atlético this Sunday, Thibaut Courtois was injured at the end of the match and will have to spend a short time in the infirmary.

A few hours after the 1-1 draw between Atlético Madrid and Real, the dreaded information about Thibaut Courtois fell. Hit in the final minutes of the electric match at Civitas Metropolitano, as we mentioned last night, the Belgian goalkeeper underwent tests this Monday. After the medical examinations, Real Madrid revealed the verdict concerning their goalkeeper, who was the subject of great tension in the derby, particularly with the Colchoneros supporters.

Two weeks of absence for Thibaut

“ After the examinations carried out today on our player Thibaut Courtois by the Real Madrid medical services, he was diagnosed with an injury to the abductor of his left leg. Evolution pending, » Florentino Pérez’s club officially announced this Monday. If no information has leaked about the period of unavailability of the 2 meter giant, the Iberian media have spoken about it. According to Marca, the injury to the left leg abductor of the former Chelsea goalkeeper will keep him away from the field for two weeks.

Clearly, the Madrilenians will have to deal with Andriy Lunin during the trip to Lille, France, for the second day of the Champions League next Wednesday, as well as against Villarreal in La Liga before the break. This is, whatever anyone says, less terrifying news for Carlo Ancelotti and his team, since the two weeks of unavailability will be over after the FIFA international break in October.

With the return of the championship on October 19 against Celta Vigo, the Madrilenians will be able to hope for the return of their number 1 goalkeeper, especially as two big matches will follow: the duel against Dortmund in the Champions League (October 22) and the FC Barcelona on October 26 in the Clásico to close out the coming month.
