Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid announced on Sunday that Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been diagnosed with a back problem ahead of two World Cup qualifiers and the start of the Club World Cup.
According to Spanish media, Courtois needs a week of rest and treatment and will miss Belgium's opening Group 10 qualifiers, away to North Macedonia next Friday and at home to Wales the following Monday.
However, he is expected to be available for Real Madrid's opening Club World Cup match against Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal in Miami on June 18.
Courtois has been diagnosed with sacroiliitis, an inflammation of the joints that connect the lower spine to the pelvis, causing pain and stiffness in the back and hips.
