Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid's star goalkeeper, won't be guarding Belgium's net at Euro 2024 after a reported fallout with national team management. The drama unfolded just as the 31-year-old completed a grueling recovery from two major knee injuries. Talk about bad timing! 😫
Courtois had been sidelined for 271 days after tearing his ACL last summer, then suffered a meniscus injury in March. His Champions League semifinal bench appearance for Real Madrid hinted at a comeback arc worthy of a sports movie 🎬—until Belgium's coach dropped the ultimate plot twist.
Despite being fit, Courtois was excluded from Belgium's squad. While neither side has shared details, sources suggest tensions over team dynamics sealed his fate. This leaves Belgium without their veteran keeper as they face Europe's top teams next month. ⚽️ Will this decision haunt the Red Devils? Stay tuned!
