The Belgian will begin recovery procedures in the coming days
Goalkeeper Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois successfully underwent surgery on the meniscus of the right knee. The Belgian will begin his recovery in the coming days.
Let us remember that Courtois tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee during training in August, after which he underwent surgery. In his absence, the competition for the No. 1 post was won by the Ukrainian Andrei Lunin, who is having a brilliant season in goal for the Blancos.
It was planned that Thibault would be able to return to the field in April. However, during one of the training sessions, the goalkeeper received his second serious injury of the season. The 31-year-old Belgian was officially diagnosed with a torn medial meniscus in his right knee.
The exact time frame for the Belgian goalkeeper’s recovery is still unknown, but it is clear that the season is definitely over for him.
Real are confidently leading La Liga nine rounds before the end of the season, eight points ahead of Barcelona and ten points ahead of Girona. In the next round, Blancos will host Athletic on March 31.
