Real Madrid suffer a double injury blow in Atletico derby draw

In a challenging game marred by refereeing decisions and an unfortunate temporary suspension, Real Madrid suffered a significant setback as both Thibaut Courtois and Fran Garcia sustained injuries.

According to reports from Radio MARCA, Courtois is suffering from left abductor problems, while Garcia suffered a blow to his left Achilles tendon after a hard tackle from Atletico’s Marcos Llorente.

Both players are expected to undergo medical tests soon to determine the extent of their injuries. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed after the game that both Courtois and Garcia had struggled with these problems.

“Fran Garcia had a hit, a bad hit, but a hit… and Courtois had a muscle problem and will be examined tomorrow.” said the manager after the game.

Courtois particularly struggled towards the end of the game, especially in the final minutes when his muscle injury prevented him from taking goal kicks.

It was a worrying moment as Ancelotti’s reaction suggested the situation with Courtois may not be positive, although we await the club’s official medical update.

Garcia’s anger

Garcia’s injury, on the other hand, was due to a hard foul by Llorente, which resulted in a red card for the Atlético player.

Despite being reduced to 10 men for the remainder of the game, Atletico managed to hold on and secure a point. The severity of Garcia’s injury is still unclear and, like Courtois, he will undergo further assessment.

The potential loss of Courtois could be a major concern for Real Madrid as he remains their first-choice goalkeeper and an integral part of their defense. The loss of both players due to injury could impact the team’s performance in the upcoming games.

Fans will be keen to find out more once the club releases official information tomorrow following medical tests. With such key players potentially out, Real Madrid may have to prepare for a difficult period.
