Thibaut Courtois Suffers New Injury Setback for Real Madrid and Belgium

Real Madrid has confirmed a fresh blow to their ranks as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois faces yet another setback on the injury front. The Belgian shot-stopper, who has been sidelined since August due to an ACL injury in his left knee, suffered a new setback during training, this time involving a torn internal meniscus in his right knee. Courtois, who had been eyeing a return to action for both Real Madrid and the Belgian national team ahead of Euro 2024, now finds his aspirations hanging in the balance. Reports suggest the goalkeeper was visibly devastated, underlining the severity of the setback. The 31-year-old is set to undergo surgery for his latest injury, with a typical recovery period ranging from 6 weeks to 3 months. With Euro 2024 looming just around the corner and Belgium set to kick off their campaign on June 14th against Slovakia, Courtois faces a race against time to regain fitness. Despite the grim outlook, Courtois will undoubtedly set his sights on the tournament in Germany, aiming for a timely return to the pitch. After enduring a series of setbacks in recent months, the goalkeeper will be hoping for a change in fortune as he strives to overcome this latest hurdle.
