Good news for Chelsea fans as key Real Madrid star could miss both Champions League matches | OneFootball

Real Madrid are worried that key player Thibaut Courtois could miss up to a month of action after suffering an injury on international duty with Belgium.

The goalkeeper picked up a knock during Belgium’s 3-0 win over Sweden on Friday in the opening game of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign and has left the Belgian camp to return to Madrid.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, the La Liga giants fear that the injury could keep Courtois out for between three to four weeks, with a strain to the 30-year-old’s adductor muscle said to be the problem. The former Chelsea star will undergo tests on Monday to determine the full extent of the issue and could miss the Champions League clashes with his former club next month.
