Real Madrid has announced that Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has suffered a muscle injury to the anterior bundle of his right quadriceps, with an estimated absence of about six weeks. Courtois felt discomfort during the warm-up before the match against Manchester City, and coach Alvaro Arbeloa decided not to risk his presence in the derby against Atletico Madrid.

This absence will affect not only the league match but also the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, scheduled for April 7 and 15. Real Madrid will face a significant challenge in the absence of a key player, and the team will need to find solutions to compensate for Courtois's absence in the upcoming matches.
