Thibaut Courtois has revealed that he will miss out on Belgium’s Euro 2024 campaign due to his knee injury sustained in August. 

Back in summer, the 31-year-old left the training pitch in tears when an MRI scan confirmed the former Chelsea goalkeeper had suffered an ACL tear.

A week later, he was operated on by Dr Manuel Leyes, under the supervision of the Real Madrid medical team and learned that he would be out for the entire 2023-24 campaign. 

He told Belgian outlet Sporza: ‘Due to the injury, there will be no European championships for me anyway,’ Courtois told Belgian outlet.

‘If I’m lucky, I can play another match in May. But then you can never be 100 per cent ready for a big tournament.’

In Courtois’ absence, Belgian boss Domenico Tedesco has Koen Casteels, Thomas Kaminski, Matz Sels, Arnaud Bodart as options in goal. 

Courtois’ place in the Belgian side was far-from guaranteed after the fall-out with the national team head coach Tedesco. 

In June, Courtois hit back at Belgium coach Tedesco, who insisted the Real Madrid goalkeeper had refused to travel for the match due to being ‘offended’ at being overlooked for the captaincy against Austria in summer.

Speaking on the issues, Courtois said: ‘For me, it’s no problem to sort things out like two adults. But where is the middle ground after a breach of trust like this?’

Tedesco claimed Courtois told him after the Austria game that he was going home, and rejected rumours of a medical issue, telling a press conference: ‘I wish I could say it’s an injury, but I can’t lie.’

However Tedesco’s claims infuriated Courtois, who issued a strongly-worded statement on his personal website which refuted the coach’s claims.

‘This afternoon I was surprised to hear the coach’s press conference in which he gave a partial and subjective account of a private conversation we had after the match against Austria,’ wrote Courtois.

‘I want to make it clear that it is not the first time or the last time that I talk to a coach about issues related to a locker room, but it is the first time that someone decides to tell it publicly.

‘I am deeply disappointed with this, but I want to make it clear that the coach’s assessments do not fit with reality.’

Along with Romelu Lukaku, Courtois is one of two Belgium vice-captains, and it was Lukaku who was given the nod to wear the armband against Austria in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, despite Courtois celebrating his 100th cap.

Courtois added: ‘I insist that in no case have I demanded anything and that I have spoken to my team-mate Romelu Lukaku to clarify any circumstances relating to this situation.

‘Furthermore yesterday afternoon I underwent a check-up for a problem in my right knee. The medical team of my club and the national team were in contact and reviewed all the corresponding material to make the decision to leave the training camp.’
