Courtois’ Official Announcement About His Future with a Surprise: “The Decision…”
Thibaut Courtois admits he may have rushed his decision regarding Euro 2024 participation
Yesterday, Real Madrid fans received one of the best Three Kings’ Day gifts imaginable. Beyond the triumphant Copa del Rey victory against Arandina, the return of Thibaut Courtois to action on the field was a significant highlight of the day. While he still needs time to regain full fitness, his comeback is steadily approaching.
The Chamartín faithful, unsurprisingly, longs for their goalkeeper. Understandably so, as he is considered the best in the world. Yet, thanks to the commendable performances of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Andriy Lunin, the white team is successfully navigating through matches.
A few months ago, Thibaut Courtois stated that he would not participate in the Euro 2024 with his national team. However, it seems that his recovery process is progressing better than he initially expected, leading to a different situation now. The goalkeeper emphasized, “I will speak soon. Perhaps I made the decision too quickly. But I am a human with feelings, not a robot.”
Therefore, the Real Madrid player will provide a final response on this matter in a few weeks, depending on how he feels. Some within the club suggest that there is a possibility he may return before the end of the season.
Reinforcement on the Horizon? This is the question on the minds of Real Madrid fans. It’s still early. As of January 7th, making any predictions about Courtois’ physical condition is speculative. Time will tell.
What is certain is that Carlo Ancelotti will always field Courtois if he is fit to play. He remains a crucial piece for the squad, and if he returns in good condition, his position is secure.
