The Cope journalist, Miguel Angel Diaz wrote earlier on Thursday that the Belgian star goalkeeper left training in tears and with pain in his knee.
On Thursday, Real Madrid confirmed the nightmare.
“Following the tests carried out on our player Thibaut Courtois, he has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The player will undergo surgery in the coming days,” writes Real Madrid.
The league premiere is just around the corner for Real Madrid, who face Athletic Club in Bilbao on Saturday night.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports in the same vein that Real Madrid are now on the market looking for a goalkeeper who is ready to replace Courtois this season.
Most likely, Courtois will miss large parts, if not the entire upcoming season, according to The Athletic, the goalkeeper can return to play in April 2024 at the earliest.
Real Madrid’s squad includes Ukrainian Andriy Lunin, who guarded the goal in twelve games last season.
