"Madrid have now confirmed the Belgium international sustained a muscular injury in the rectus femoris of his right quadriceps. While Los Blancos did not give a timescale for Courtois' return, the general diagnosis for such an injury is a recovery time of four to six weeks."
"Beyond Sunday's Madrid derby, Courtois could then face a race against time to be fit for Los Blancos' Champions League quarter-finals tie with Bayern Munich. Madrid, who are second in LaLiga, also face Mallorca, Girona, Alaves and Real Betis in April."
"Courtois has kept 15 clean sheets in 41 appearances this season for Madrid, making 120 saves. He has conceded 38 goals (not including own goals) from an expected goals on target conceded of 40.9."
Thibaut Courtois was substituted at half-time during Real Madrid's 2-1 Champions League victory over Manchester City due to a muscular injury in the rectus femoris of his right quadriceps. Real Madrid confirmed the injury without specifying a return date, though typical recovery for such injuries ranges from four to six weeks. This absence threatens Courtois' participation in the Madrid derby and the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich. Madrid face multiple fixtures in April including matches against Mallorca, Girona, Alaves, and Real Betis. This season, Courtois has recorded 15 clean sheets across 41 appearances with 120 saves and 38 goals conceded.
