2025 Fantasy Outlook
In his first full season back from ACL surgery, Courtois delivered a steady 2024/25 campaign with 11 clean sheets and 29 goals conceded in 30 appearances. He benefited from a strong defensive unit in front of him, helping Real Madrid finish among the league's best in goals allowed, which isn't too surprising. After reworking parts of their back line over their summer for new manager Xabi Alonso, Courtois could be set for an improved 2025/26 season with 10-plus clean sheets almost a lock for this group.
Suffers quadriceps injury
Courtois underwent scans Thursday that confirmed a quadriceps lesion that will sideline him for more about six weeks, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Courtois was forced off at halftime in Tuesday's Champions League win over Manchester City with a quadriceps injury, and scans on Thursday confirmed it as a muscle lesion. The starting goalkeeper is now expected to miss around six weeks to recover, ruling him out for both legs against Bayern in the Champions League. This is a massive blow for the Merengues given how clutch the Belgian is on the big stage, with Andriy Lunin set to step in between the posts until Courtois is back to full fitness.

Forced off as precaution
Courtois was forced off at halftime during Tuesday's Champions League clash against Manchester City as a precaution due to dealing with discomfort in his groin area, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa. "Courtois had some discomfort and wanted to continue, but it wasn't necessary to take any risks because in four days we have another final: a very important derby and a very challenging match."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In doubt for upcoming matches
Courtois could miss Real Madrid's next two matches due to an abductor muscle injury in his left leg, Rodrigo Faez of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Belgian goalkeeper is not optimistic about his chances of facing Manchester City, and he could be in danger of missing additional games as well. If that's the case, then Alphonse Areola would start instead of the Belgium international.
