Courtois misses the Clasico with Barcelona
Thibaut Courtois also failed to train with the rest of Real Madrid’s squad on Friday (14/10) and will therefore not be available for Carlo Ancelotti for the Clasico against Barcelona next Sunday (16/10).
Real host Barcelona at the Bernabeu on Sunday (10/16) in the first El Clasico of the season, but have to be without Thibaut Courtois under their rafters.
The Belgian goalkeeper was unable to recover from the injury that has plagued him of late and did not train with the rest of the Merengues squad on Friday (14/10).
Therefore, it is not counted by Carlo Ancelotti. Most recently, on September 25, he played with his country’s national team against the Netherlands in the Nations League groups.
