Real Madrid's goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, will miss key World Cup qualifiers due to a back problem, according to his club. The Belgian keeper is dealing with sacroiliitis and requires a week of rest and treatment.
Spanish media reports that Courtois will not play in Belgium's upcoming Group J qualifiers against North Macedonia and Wales. However, he is expected to recover in time for Real Madrid's Club World Cup game against Al-Hilal on June 18 in Miami.
Sacroiliitis causes inflammation in the joints linking the lower spine and pelvis, resulting in pain and stiffness, challenging Courtois as he prepares for critical matches with both his national and club teams.
