Thibaut Courtois misses Real Madrid training

Thibaut Courtois was missing from Real Madrid training this morning.

The goalkeeper was forced off during the 2-2 draw against Champions League opponents Club Brugge.

Courtois left the pitch complaining of a sore belly, though had been jeered by the home support after conceding twice.

Alphonse Areola could now start for Real against Granada on Saturday.

After this game, Real's next three will be away from home and it's suggested that would suit Courtois' re-introduction.
