Courtois injured, set to miss Belgium’s Euro qualifiers | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s Belgian goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, will miss the last two matches of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein, due to a thigh injury suffered during the goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in Vallecas.

“After tests conducted today by Real Madrid’s medical staff, a injury to the adductor longus muscle of the right leg was diagnosed,” the club said in a statement released to the press.

Real Madrid did not specify the recovery time, but the Spanish press predicts an absence of 10 to 12 days, similar to the case of teammate Fede Valverde, who was also left out of Uruguay’s squad due to a muscle injury in his right thigh.

Courtois and Valverde are expected to return to the pitch against Elche on November 23, in the Spanish Championship.
