Thibaut Courtois: Real Madrid goalkeeper to miss Lille Champions League game with hip injury

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtoi will miss Wednesday’s Champions League game at Lille with a hip injury.

Real have confirmed the Belgian suffered an abductor injury in his left leg during their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in La Liga on Sunday.

Ukraine international Andriy Lunin is expected to deputise in goal against Lille, while striker Kylian Mbappe has returned to the squad after missing Sunday’s match with a thigh injury.

Following the Lille game, the Spanish and European champions then host Villarreal on Saturday before the international break.

Courtois, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, has started all 10 games for Real this season.

Sunday’s draw was halted for about 20 minutes midway through the second half following crowd issues.

Courtois complained to officials that home fans behind his goal were throwing objects on to the field.
