Not only did they regretfully lose 2 points, the big match at Wanda Metropolitano also caused Los Blancos to suffer major losses in terms of personnel when after the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that goalkeeper Courtois, although still playing the entire match, had muscle and would be examined further after returning to the headquarters.

Recently, through the homepage, the Santiago Bernabeu team confirmed that the Belgian star had suffered an injury to his left leg, is currently being treated and has not yet determined the duration of his absence.

Immediately, ESPN revealed that the 32-year-old player will likely miss the next 2 matches this week, respectively against Lille in the Champions League and Villarreal in La Liga. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin will be heavily relied upon by coach Ancelotti while Courtois recovers from his injury.

In addition, after the draw with Atletico, Real Madrid fans also had to hold their breath regarding the physical condition of left-back Fran Garcia, who coach Ancelotti confirmed was injured after a collision with midfielder Marcos Llorente of the home team in the final minutes.

However, Real’s homepage has not yet provided an update on the physical condition of the Spanish star.
