Thibaut Courtois was seriously injured in training with Real Madrid: the verdict is in, it’s a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
Disaster for Real Madrid. Thibaut Courtois was injured during training on Thursday. It’s serious: a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee, announced the Madrid club. The 31-year-old Belgian goalkeeper reportedly broke down in tears. He’s going to have an operation.
“Following the tests carried out on our player Thibaut Courtois, he was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The player will be operated on in the coming days”, Real Madrid said in a statement.
Lunin or a rookie?
An unavailability of several months is to be expected. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti can only count on Andriy Lunin, while the professional squad does not have a third official goalkeeper for the moment (youngsters Diego Piñeiro and Fran González are attached to the B team).
But the Ukrainian did not give satisfaction during the pre-season, so much so that the Madrid press reported that the exit door had been opened by the leaders. To replace him, the names of David Soria (Getafe), Stole Dimitrievski (Rayo Vallecano) and Fernando Pacheco (Espanyol) were cited at the end of July by the newspaper AS.
These tracks may be enabled. Unless, still in the worst case scenario, Real turns to a louder name. David De Gea is free, while Keylor Navas and Hugo Lloris are on the market.
