Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will be out for around six weeks with a right quadriceps injury, meaning he will miss the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern on April 7 and 15.
In a statement, the club stated that it was a muscle injury of the front bundle of the right quadriceps.
Courtois (33) felt discomfort during the warm-up and was replaced at halftime of the last round of 16 match against Manchester City, which ended 2:1. The diagnosis was confirmed on Thursday.
His absence also means he will miss the upcoming league derby against Atletico this weekend.
This is a big blow for Real Madrid, as Courtois is in excellent form and has saved the club several times this season with key interventions.
The Belgian national team is also affected, as the Red Devils will play friendlies against the United States of America and Mexico during the next international break.
