Impact Courtois has returned to training with Real Madrid after completing his post-World Cup break, taking part in an individual session Friday as he continues to build back from the minor left thigh issue he sustained during Belgium's quarterfinal loss to Spain. Further tests ruled out any significant damage, and the goalkeeper has since confirmed he is no longer experiencing any discomfort. As part of a gradual return, Courtois will not travel for Saturday's preseason friendly against Ferencvaros, with Andriy Lunin, Sergio Mestre and Javi Navarro handling goalkeeping duties instead. The Belgian remains Real Madrid's undisputed first-choice goalkeeper and is expected to increase his workload over the coming weeks with the goal of being fully fit for the start of the LaLiga season.

Impact Courtois had been forced off with muscle discomfort in his leg during Belgium's World Cup quarterfinal loss to Spain, though medical tests subsequently ruled out any significant damage. The scare occurred in the same area that had sidelined him for several weeks in March with a quadriceps issue. No specific date has been confirmed for his return to training at this stage. Courtois is expected to be fully available for the start of the new season without disruption to his timeline.

Tests clear injury fears Courtois underwent medical tests that ruled out any significant damage, according to Marca.

Impact Courtois was forced off with muscle discomfort in his leg during Belgium's World Cup quarterfinal loss to Spain, sparking concern given the injury occurred in the same area that had sidelined him for several weeks in March with a quadriceps issue. Monday's examinations confirmed the scare was a false alarm, with no serious damage found. The goalkeeper will now resume his vacation following a long season and a World Cup campaign before rejoining the group in late July as part of Real Madrid's staggered return schedule for internationals. Courtois is expected to be available for the start of the new season without any disruption to his timeline.

Exits with apparent injury Courtois was subbed off during the second half of Friday's quarterfinal match against Spain.

Impact Courtois asked to be subbed off midway through the second half due to an apparent injury, and further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the problem. Senne Lammens, who plays for Manchester United, replaced the veteran shot-stopper. His status is worth monitoring in case Belgium advance past the quarterfinals.

Concedes once versus the USA Courtois had one save and allowed one goal in Monday's 4-1 win over USA.

Impact Courtois had a relatively easy day, as he was beaten by a free kick that was heavily deflected by the wall and had to parry away just one fairly weak attempt by Folarin Balogun late in the game, as Belgium had the upper hand for the entirety of the contest. He has kept one clean sheet, made 10 saves and given up five goals so far. Belgium will face Spain in the quarter-finals Friday.

Allows two against Senegal Courtois recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus Senegal.

Impact Courtois would be beaten twice Wednesday, but still held strong to make three saves, just enough to get Belgium past Senegal. This keeps the Belgian keeper at one clean sheet all tournament through four games, allowing four goals. He will now prepare to face either the USMNT or Bosnia and Herzegovina in the round of 16.

One save in historic appearance Courtois had one save and allowed one goal in Friday's 5-1 win over New Zealand.

Impact Courtois made his 18th FIFA World Cup appearance in Friday's 5-1 win over New Zealand, passing Enzo Scifo's previous mark of 17 to become Belgium's all-time leader in World Cup appearances. He was beaten only once by Elijah Just's late consolation goal in the 84th minute but had little else to do as Belgium controlled the match from the opening whistle. Courtois and Belgium finish atop Group G and head into the Round of 32 riding plenty of momentum.

Three saves against Iran Courtois made three saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Iran.

Impact Courtois made three crucial saves in Sunday's goalless draw with Iran, first getting down sharply to his right to deny Hossein Kanani's low shot after a long throw in the first half, then making his most important contribution in the second half when he repelled Mehdi Taremi's powerful volley from another long throw that threatened to give Iran the lead in a match Belgium were already struggling to win. The Real Madrid goalkeeper was let down by Nathan Ngoy's red card in the final quarter of the match, which stretched his backline and handed Iran the territorial momentum his three saves had kept at bay, finishing with a clean sheet that felt more fortunate than dominant against a resolute Iranian attacking threat. With Belgium facing New Zealand in a must-win group finale, Courtois's command of his area and leadership from the back will be essential to providing the defensive foundation his team's attacking talent will need to finally deliver a winning performance.

JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE

Two saves against Egypt Courtois recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Egypt.

Impact Courtois made two saves in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt but was beaten by Emam Ashour's brilliant 20-yard strike in the first half, a long-range effort that flew past him and gave him very little chance of a save regardless of his positioning. The Real Madrid goalkeeper was otherwise alert and commanded his area confidently throughout the match, making one important stop in the second half to deny an Egyptian counter-attack and keeping his side in the match until Romelu Lukaku's introduction proved decisive. His shot-stopping quality and leadership between the posts remain essential to Belgium's World Cup ambitions, and a cleaner defensive display in front of him against Iran will allow him to contribute to the winning result his side desperately need.

Crucial figure for Belgium Courtois shapes up as one of the most reliable goalkeepers heading into the 2026 World Cup, having been named in Belgium's squad as the undisputed first choice between the posts fo...

Impact Courtois delivered another strong campaign with Real Madrid despite missing a significant portion of the season through injury, finishing with 123 saves, 17 clean sheets and 39 goals conceded across 43 appearances in all competitions. His ability to make decisive stops in high-pressure moments, combined with his commanding presence in the penalty area and distribution from the back, makes him one of the most complete goalkeepers in world football. He was able to close out the season strongly, featuring in each of Real Madrid's final four matches after returning from injury, which will give both player and national team staff confidence heading into the summer.Courtois is the backbone of Belgium's defensive structure and one of the most important players in the entire squad heading into the World Cup. His shot-stopping ability, ability to read the game and experience in major tournaments make him a critical factor in how far the Red Devils can go this summer. Belgium's chances of a deep run in the tournament are directly tied to his form and availability, and with the 34-year-old now back to full fitness after a disrupted domestic season, manager Rudi Garcia will be counting on him to deliver when it matters most.

No saves in final game Courtois registered no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory versus Athletic.

Impact Courtois conceded twice on the day, first on Gorka Guruzeta's absolute rocket of a volley just before halftime and then on Urko Izeta's late header, though Athletic only managed two shots on target all match and rarely put him under real pressure. He wraps up the La Liga campaign with 13 clean sheets in 32 appearances, the second-best mark in the league behind Joan Garcia. The Belgian now shifts focus to the 2026 World Cup before returning to a Real Madrid squad that's expected to see major changes under incoming manager Jose Mourinho.
