Real Madrid received a heavy blow this Thursday morning.
Thibaut Courtois, as the club has announced in the medical report, will be absent for several months after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during today's session.
The goalkeeper will undergo surgery in the coming days and will be out for many months. Most likely, the new season is over for him.
"After the tests done on our player Thibaut Courtois, he has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The player will undergo an operation in the next few days," the club's statement reads.
According to the sports journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid is now expected to enter the market to find a replacement for the Belgian.
