MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has torn a ligament in his left knee and will require surgery, the club said Thursday.
Local media reports that the injury occurred during training.
The 31-year-old Belgium international is considered one of European soccer’s top goalkeepers.
Courtois has played for Madrid since 2018 when he transferred from Chelsea. He has helped Madrid win the 2022 Champions League title and two Spanish league titles.
Madrid opens the season on Saturday at Athletic Bilbao.
