Real Madrid has confirmed that Thibaut Courtois has sustained an abductor muscle injury in his left leg, which was revealed after tests conducted by the club's medical services. Courtois suffered the injury during the closing minutes of the Madrid derby, and coach Carlo Ancelotti had already expressed concerns about the goalkeeper's condition in his post-match press conference.
The injury will keep Courtois sidelined for just over two weeks, during which time Real Madrid will face important fixtures in both La Liga and the Champions League. The club is aiming for Courtois to return in time for the match against Celta on October 19. Fortunately, this timeline suggests that Courtois should be available for the highly anticipated Clásico on October 26 and the third Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.
