Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be sidelined for a further 4 to 6 weeks, sources have told ESPN, after the club confirmed he suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee during a training session on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old Belgium international had been expected to return to Madrid’s squad after he ruptured the ACL in his left knee in August.
