The Belgian international goalkeeper is out of tonight's clash between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid at Camp Nou for the Clásico.

This is Sunday's terrible news! Thibaut Courtois will not play in Sunday's Clásico at Camp Nou, which counts towards the tenth round of La Liga. Real Madrid have just announced that their Belgian goalkeeper is out with a flu-like syndrome.

Andriy Lunin to guard the goal

This is therefore a significant absence for José Mourinho's team this Sunday. The Portuguese coach is forced to revise his plans just hours before this clash. “Courtois is out at the last minute due to a bout of flu for tonight's match between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, which counts towards the tenth round of La Liga. Illia Voloshyn replaces him in the squad,” Real Madrid even announced.

Courtois's absence is a major setback for Real Madrid, who will have to do without one of their key players as they attempt to win at the home of their great rivals. Andriy Lunin will therefore start in goal for the Clásico.
