"Following tests carried out today on our player Thibaut Courtois by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his right quadriceps. His recovery will be monitored."
"The injury comes as a huge blow to Real, who will be without their talismanic goalkeeper for Sunday's Madrid derby against Atlético in LaLiga, and both legs of their Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich. Should he remain sidelined for the full six weeks, Courtois will miss seven games across all competitions."
Thibaut Courtois suffered a muscle injury in the rectus femoris of his right quadriceps during Real Madrid's 2-1 Champions League victory over Manchester City. He was replaced by Andriy Lunin in the second half. The injury will sideline him for approximately six weeks, causing him to miss seven matches across all competitions, including the Madrid derby against Atlético, both legs of the Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich, and potentially El Clásico against Barcelona on May 10. Real Madrid confirmed the diagnosis through medical testing. Meanwhile, Barcelona goalkeeper Joan García avoided serious injury despite being substituted during their match against Newcastle United.
