Real Madrid confirm injuries to key players, see the details 🚑 | OneFootball

Real Madrid heads into the international break with bad news!

Federico Valverde and Thibaut Courtois had their injuries confirmed this Monday (10th).

According to the club’s statement, the Uruguayan midfielder was diagnosed with “an injury to the semimembranosus muscle in his right leg.”

Real Madrid did not specify the severity of the injury, but the Spanish press estimates a minimum recovery time of ten days.

The Uruguayan national team player will not travel to join the Celeste squad during the international break.

Oh, and if you’re curious about the so-called semimembranosus muscle, here you go!

The semimembranosus muscle is one of the muscles located at the back of the thigh, very close to the biceps femoris and the semitendinosus, which together form the group known as the hamstrings – the famous “posterior thigh muscles.”

In simple terms, it’s a large muscle that runs from the lower part of the hip to the back of the knee.

Courtois, in turn, was diagnosed with an adductor muscle injury.

"After the tests carried out today on our player Thibaut Courtois by the Real Madrid Medical Services, an injury to the long adductor muscle of the right leg was diagnosed. The player is under observation and will await further developments," Real said in a statement.
