Real Madrid have once again been hit with worrying news. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is facing a fresh health issue, as officially confirmed by the club's channels.

It was revealed following medical examinations that the Belgian has been diagnosed with sacroiliitis—an inflammation of the sacroiliac joints. This condition causes pain in the lower back and pelvis, often radiating down the legs and resulting in significant discomfort.

Meanwhile, despite his recent troubles, Courtois has been called up to the Belgian national team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Macedonia and Wales. His return to the squad comes after a change in the coaching staff, opening up new opportunities for him on the international stage. However, both his participation in these matches and his ongoing recovery after a difficult season are now in serious doubt.

Let us remind you that on June 18, Los Blancos will kick off their Club World Cup campaign in the USA with a match against Saudi side Al Hilal.
