Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and center back Dean Huijsen will not play in Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Olympiacos.
The Spanish giants confirmed Courtois is dealing with a gastrointestinal viral infection and will not make the trip to Greece—Andriy Lunin is in line to get his first start this season with the Belgian sidelined.
Huijsen’s situation is a bit more tenuous. Real did not specify why the Spaniard was left out of Xabi Alonso’s squad, but he missed training on Tuesday and will stay back in Madrid to undergo further medical testing, per .
The 20-year-old was forced to withdraw from international duty last week due to muscle discomfort, but he then played 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s 2–2 draw with Elche on Sunday, scoring his first goal in a white shirt.
Now, Los Blancos will be sweating over the fitness of the former Bournemouth man with games against Girona, Athletic Club, Celta Vigo and Manchester City coming in the next two weeks.
