The Athletic reports this. Thibaut Courtois, the renowned goalkeeper for Real Madrid, faced significant challenges this season due to severe injuries.
At the beginning of the season, Courtois suffered a devastating cruciate ligament injury that sidelined him for an extended period. His recovery process was progressing well when he encountered another setback, tearing the internal meniscus in his right knee. Despite these obstacles, Courtois demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination.
After months of intensive rehabilitation, Courtois made his much-anticipated return to the pitch on May 4, in a match against Cadiz. This comeback was not just a personal triumph for the player but also a moment of relief for Real Madrid fans. Throughout this arduous journey, Amazon Prime's cameras were there to capture every pivotal moment, documenting his grueling recovery and the unwavering support from his team and medical staff. Although the documentary's release date is still under wraps, it promises to offer an intimate look into the challenges and triumphs of Courtois's rehabilitation.
Looking ahead, Real Madrid is set to compete in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1. The question of who will guard the goal for Real Madrid remains open. Andriy Lunin has stepped up admirably in Courtois's absence, delivering strong performances that have bolstered the team's defense.
However, Courtois's return to form since his recovery adds an interesting dynamic to the selection dilemma. The decision will ultimately rest on the coaching staff, who must weigh Lunin's recent consistency against Courtois's proven experience and skill. The forthcoming documentary will likely shed more light on these critical moments leading up to the final.
