Courtois Out of El Clásico as Real Madrid Faces Barcelona
Thibaut Courtois, the Real Madrid goalkeeper, has been confirmed as absent from the upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona due to falling ill with the flu. The announcement was made by Real Madrid on their website shortly before the match, stating that Illia Voloshyn has been called up to the squad in Courtois' place.
This absence is considered a significant setback for Real Madrid as they prepare to face their rivals at the Camp Nou. Courtois has participated in 12 matches across all competitions this season, conceding 14 goals and achieving only two clean sheets.
Andriy Lunin is expected to take over in goal for the match against Barcelona. Real Madrid is looking to win this match to reduce Barcelona's current six-point lead in the league, while Barcelona aims to extend their advantage.
The match is scheduled for 9pm Nigerian time.
