Real Madrid supporters need not worry much about Courtois’ absence, as he is likely to recuperate before the team’s upcoming critical matches. Courtois’ presence in the goalpost will be vital in the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna on May 6th.
Furthermore, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Manchester City is approaching, and having the Belgian international back in the squad would be crucial in achieving a favorable outcome for Los Blancos.
The Copa del Rey final and the Champions League final are only a couple of weeks away, and Real Madrid’s next three games will be critical in shaping their season. However, such concerns are usually resolved within a day or two.
Despite being 11 points behind leaders Barcelona with a game in hand, Real Madrid is mainly focusing on maintaining their rhythm as they have practically lost the La Liga title. Real Madrid has been in outstanding form recently, triumphing in their last four games without conceding any goals.
Moreover, they have advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League after an impressive win over Chelsea. In La Liga, Real Madrid has scored 63 goals and only conceded 24, which is the third-best defensive record in the league.
Girona FC is striving to ensure their survival in the Primera division. They currently have 38 points, which is eight points ahead of Valencia, who are currently in the relegation zone.
