Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois to Miss Euro 2024 with Knee Injury

Belgium have confirmed that Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will not be selected for Euro 2024 due to a knee ligament injury. The 31-year-old sustained the injury in training and will require surgery, ruling him out of action for an extended period.

Courtois has been a key player for Belgium in recent years and was expected to be their number one goalkeeper at Euro 2024. His absence will be a significant blow to the team's hopes of success in the tournament.

Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez said: "This is a huge disappointment for Thibaut, but also for the team. He is a world-class goalkeeper and his experience would have been invaluable to us. We will now have to find a replacement for him, but it will be difficult to find someone of his quality."
