Real Madrid’s Courtois out for Olympiacos UCL trip

Real Madrid goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, will miss the Champions League trip to face Olympiacos because of a stomach bug, the Spanish giants said on Tuesday.

The Belgian stopper “has been diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis,” said Madrid in a statement ahead of Wednesday’s match in Athens.

Andriy Lunin is set to fill in for the record 15-time champions, who are seventh in the league phase table.

Madrid, which made the quarterfinals last season, has nine points from four matches and have failed to win any of their last three games across all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat by Liverpool in their previous Champions League match.
