"Real" team from Madrid is facing serious problems - two important players are dropping out of the lineup. It is announced on the official club website that Thibaut Courtois suffered a thigh muscle injury in the match against Seville's "Real Betis" and will not play for at least a few weeks. The Belgian, who has been demonstrating excellent sports form this season, will miss the upcoming "La Liga" matches on Friday and the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against "Manchester City" on Tuesday. He will be temporarily replaced by Alphonse Areola, who is currently playing for the club on loan. It is also noted that Marcelo suffered a muscle injury in the unsuccessful matches over the weekend. He will also be unable to help the team in the match against "Man City." However, the Brazilian recently returned to the starting lineup - he had been sidelined for a long time by Ferland Mendy. The first match between "Man City" and "Real" in Madrid ended in a 2-1 defeat for the hosts. During the match, Sergio Ramos also received a red card, so the "whites" will have to play without their captain.
