Thibaut Courtois Makes It Official, He's Leaving Madrid Imminently: 'ready...'

Courtois leaves bad news for Ancelotti, who is already worried about the situation

Courtois is the undisputed starting goalkeeper at Real Madrid and Ancelotti has no doubts. Not even Lunin's good performances made him change his mind last season. But now the Belgian has made a decision that could be crucial for Carletto.

Problems with his coach had led him to leave the Belgian national team a few months ago. He didn't feel confident with him and after not being drafted for the Euro Cup, he stepped aside. However, he has surprised everyone with his latest statements about Belgium.

Courtois has pointed out that "I missed playing for Belgium" after the decision and the problems he had. But he also indicated that "it's been a year and a half, now I'm ready". Therefore, he could return in the coming days with his national team.

It should be noted that a national team break is approaching in March and that could be very important. If he receives the call, Courtois would leave Madrid to join Belgium. Something that hadn't happened recently and allowed him to continue working in Valdebebas.

Ancelotti Trembles with the Upcoming National Team Break Due to His Players' Health

The season is being exhausting for Madridists who see that the schedule doesn't give a break. As if that weren't enough, they had to face an extra round in the Champions League with the consequent wear and tear. In a few days, the national team break will arrive to add more problems.

Ancelotti knows it's a risk for his players' health that many of them will leave. Courtois was one of the few who stayed, but he could also leave the Spanish capital. The coach will therefore be very alert to his players and the minutes they accumulate.

He hopes no one returns injured as it would be a very painful blow in a key stretch of the season. The Champions League, La Liga, and the Cup are at stake in the coming weeks. Carlo can't lose any players during these days to avoid more problems.
