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.

Impact 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.

Impact Courtois picked up some groin discomfort during Tuesday's Champions League win over Manchester City and was pulled at halftime as a precaution to avoid anything serious ahead of Sunday's derby against Atletico. The Belgian should have enough time to recover and is trending toward starting against his former club. That said, if his workload is managed in training or he does not make the squad, Andriy Lunin is lined up to step in between the posts against the Colchoneros.

Subs off with potential injury Courtois left Tuesday's UCL match against Manchester City due to an apparent muscle overload in his right adductor, Miguel Angel Toribio of Radio Marca reports.

Impact Courtois played only the first half of the return match against the EPL side, with Andriy Lunin taking his place for the rest of the game. While there's confidence that the Belgian is not dealing with a serious injury, he could be a doubt for upcoming fixtures. He has started every La Liga or UCL match since Nov. 30, so his potential absence would be quite impactful for the team ahead of a league derby versus Atletico Madrid.
