In August 2023, Thibaut Courtois suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in his left knee, which kept him out of the field until then. This Tuesday, and while he had slowly resumed collective training since the end of February, the Belgian goalkeeper was seen by the Spanish press in tears at Valdebebas (Real Madrid training center), like 7 months ago .
According to Marca, the 2 meter giant may have suffered a relapse, but this time on the other knee. Journalist Arancha Rodiguez, specialist in the Merengues, said that it was a tear in the internal meniscus of the right knee, a serious injury which should prevent him from returning before the end of the season. Even if his replacement Lunin performs well, it is another huge blow for his club and for the former Chelsea player, who will not have played a single match this season.
