Belgium and Real Madrid first-choice goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois will miss Sunday’s Nations League clash against England due to injury.

Courtois left the camp today after a medical check-up deemed the goalkeeper unfit to play their upcoming internationals as Belgium host Ivory Coast in a friendly on Thursday evening before taking on England in the Nations League at Wembley on Sunday.

Roberto Martinez’s side, who top the FIFA world rankings, then travel to Reykjavik to face Iceland in another League A Group 2 match next Wednesday.

Belgium will now play these three games without No 1 goalkeeper Courtois, who has made 79 appearances for his country.

Diario AS reports that Courtois injury is not a major one and he should recover in time for Madrid’s next match against Cadiz right after this FIFA break, per that same report.
