Real Madrid’s star player is set to make his return from injury against Leganes after getting back to training.

After a week filled with concerning injury updates, Real Madrid finally received some positive news on the fitness front today as star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois returned to training with the squad.

The 32-year-old, who has been sidelined since suffering an adductor injury in the match against Borussia Dortmund last month, resumed training today, providing a timely boost for Los Merengues.

According to journalist Mario Cortegana, both Courtois and Real Madrid are optimistic that he will be ready for action following the international break.

Real Madrid will resume their title defense against Leganes after the break, and if all goes as planned, the Belgian is expected to reclaim his starting position for that fixture.

In Courtois’ absence, Andriy Lunin has stepped in as goalkeeper but has struggled to match his form from last season, conceding four goals against Barcelona and three more in the Champions League match against AC Milan.

Courtois’ return will be a much-needed lift for Real Madrid as they aim to close the gap on Barcelona in the La Liga title race and strengthen their European campaign.

Prior to his injury, the 32-year-old, who remains reluctant to rejoin the Belgian national team under its current management, had featured in 12 matches across all competitions, securing four clean sheets.
