Courtois is still injured and will not be in the Real Madrid vs. Shakhtar match due to injury.

Real Madrid returned to play at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but could only draw against Osasuna (1-1), breaking the streak of nine consecutive wins since the start of the season. One of the players who could not be present in the match was Thibaut Courtois, who was ruled out at the last minute.

Hours before the start of the LaLiga Santander match, the 'Merengues' announced that the goalkeeper was diagnosed with left sciatica and, for the moment, there was no established period for his recovery. In that sense, everything suggests that the Belgian goalkeeper will not be under the three posts against Shakhtar in the Champions League.

According to EFE, doctors at Real Madrid are analyzing Courtois' evolution day by day and that ailment will prevent him from being in the Champions League clash. As happened against Osasuna, Andriy Lunin will be in charge of covering the position.

Likewise, Thibaut will continue with his individual work under the guidance of the club's physiotherapists, a routine that also includes exercises in the gym, with the aim of returning to the field as soon as possible.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti hopes to have Courtois in optimal condition for the LaLiga Santander Clasico, which will be played in less than two weeks. Remember that the Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match was scheduled for Sunday, October 16, starting at 9:15 a.m. (Peruvian time), at the Bernabeu.

When does Real Madrid play against Shakhtar?

The match between Real Madrid and Shakhtar will take place on Wednesday, October 5, for the third matchday of Group F in the Champions League, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium (2:00 p.m. Peruvian time). Currently, the 'Merengues' have six points and are the leaders, while the Ukrainian team has four points and is in second place.
