Thibaut Courtois has been forced to undergo second knee surgery in seven months due to a meniscus tear

It was a nightmare day for Thibaut Courtois. During Tuesday's training session with Real Madrid, suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee — the opposite of which he tore his ACL — which is expected to keep him out for nearly two months, effectively meaning his season is over without a game.

Courtois suffered that ACL injury in August, just days before the start of the La Liga season. He underwent successful surgery shortly after it happened, and had been in the final stages of his recovery before this latest blow.

As reported by The Athletic (via MD), Courtois will undergo his second knee surgery of the season in the next 24 hours. Fortunately, due to the nature of the injury, it will be minor and less invasive than the one in August.

Courtois' focus will be on getting back in shape as soon as possible once his surgery is over. We will aim to return to the Real Madrid team from next season, although it is not certain that he will be a nailed starter, given how impressive Andriy Lunin has been.
