Courtois Struggles with Sacroiliitis

Real Madrid's Star Goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, Sidelined with Injury

Time for a bummer, soccer fans! Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid's towering goalie, has been hit by the injury bug. The Spanish powerhouse announced on the weekend that Courtois is dealing with sacroilitis and is receiving medical attention.

In a nutshell, sacroilitis is an inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, linking the spine to the pelvis. It often leads to discomfort and stiffness in the lower back area.

The good news? With the right treatment and some good ol' rest, Courtois' recovery shouldn't take longer than ten days, fingers crossed. That puts him on track for Real Madrid's 2025 FIFA Club World Cup kickoff on June 18 against Al Hilal.

However, forget about cheering for Courtois in Belgium's World Cup qualifiers against North Macedonia and Wales. Sadly, those matches clash with his recovery timeline, meaning he'll have to sit these out.

But hang in there, soccer enthusiasts! There's no replacement in sight for Courtois in Belgium's upcoming qualifier squad, and despite the setback, he's still hoping to be back in the game on home turf.

Despite Thibaut Courtois' current medical issues, his expected recovery from sacroilitis shouldn't exceed ten days. However, this timeline could potentially conflict with Belgium's World Cup qualifiers against North Macedonia and Wales. On a positive note, Courtois remains committed to making a comeback for Real Madrid's 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, scheduled for June 18 against Al Hilal.
