Real Madrid fans can breathe a sigh of relief—Thibaut Courtois is back! The Belgian shot-stopper has been included in the squad traveling to London for Tuesday’s highly anticipated Champions League quarter-final showdown against Arsenal.
Courtois has missed the past three games due to calf pain linked to a cyst behind his knee. In his absence, Andriy Lunin stepped up but also got sidelined, forcing 19-year-old Fran Gonzalez to start in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Valencia.
With Lunin still ruled out, Courtois’ return couldn’t come at a better time. He was seen training on Sunday, showing positive signs ahead of the Emirates clash.
However, Los Blancos are still dealing with injury woes. Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended, while Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Dani Ceballos, and Ferland Mendy remain out due to injuries.
Despite setbacks, Real Madrid are marching into London with renewed hope—backed by the presence of their world-class keeper. Let the UCL fireworks begin!
