Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois is set to miss approximately six weeks of action following a muscle injury to his right quadriceps. The Belgian goalkeeper experienced discomfort during the warm-up for Real Madrid's match against Manchester City.
Courtois initially played the first 45 minutes, making several saves without apparent distress. However, his discomfort persisted, prompting his substitution for Andriy Lunin at halftime. Lunin successfully stepped in, maintaining the team's solid performance.
