Drama for Real Madrid: Courtois out for six weeks

Thibaut Courtois will be out for around a month and a half. Medical tests carried out on the Real Madrid goalkeeper this morning revealed a muscle injury to the rectus femoris of the right quadriceps.

Courtois felt discomfort in the warm-up for the match between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium. Despite this, he was in goal for Los Blancos and played the first 45 minutes, in which he made several worthy saves, without appearing to be injured.

However, the discomfort persisted and the team's good situation (three goals ahead against a rival with ten players) advised his substitution for Andriy Lunin. The Ukrainian goalkeeper, by the way, maintained Courtois' good level in goal and stopped several dangerous shots from the English side.
