Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will miss Wednesday’s Champions League match against Lille due to a hip injury.
The Belgian sustained an abductor injury in his left leg during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid.
Ukraine international Andriy Lunin is expected to replace Courtois in goal for the Lille match.
Striker Kylian Mbappe has returned to the squad after missing Sunday’s game with a thigh injury.
Following the Lille game, Real Madrid will host Villarreal on Saturday before the international break. Courtois, who missed a significant portion of last season with a knee injury, has been a key player for the team this season.
Sunday’s match against Atletico Madrid was temporarily halted due to crowd disturbances. Courtois complained to match officials about objects being thrown onto the field by home fans behind his goal.
