Ancelotti Hopeful Of Courtois’ Return Next Week

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Thursday that injured goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois could return from injury as soon as next week.

The Belgian international has missed the entire season with a knee ligament injury and suffered a further setback in March which required another knee operation.

Real Madrid face Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinals on Tuesday and then Cadiz in LaLiga on the following Saturday.

"He's well, I think he will be available to travel with us next week (to Munich) and he can play against Cadiz," Ancelotti told a news conference.
