"Courtois is ready to play in the Champions League"

Thibaut Courtois' adviser, Hector Fernandez, gave an interview to the programme 'El Partidazo de COPE' in which he assured that the Belgian goalkeeper is 100% recovered: "He can play this weekend and if he is called up for the Champions League, he can play too".

"I'm sure he'll be available for the game against Bayern," he added. He also commented that "he is very well, not only with his legs and hands". 

"Mentally he has been very strong," explained the Belgian's adviser. He also said that the goalkeeper's second injury was "like a blow" for him. It is worth remembering that, just when it seemed that he could return to the pitch, Courtois injured his other knee. 

Thibaut Courtois could make his return against Cadiz at the Santiago Bernabeu. 'Los Blancos' have practically won LaLiga, so Ancelotti can afford to field an eleven full of changes and, in this way, give minutes to the Belgian in front of his home fans.
