The tests that Thibaut Courtois underwent indicated that the Belgian goalkeeper is not suffering from a muscular injury.

Belgium's Thibaut Courtois has no muscle injury, according to the MRI scan he underwent on Tuesday morning at the Valdebebas training complex, which confirmed that his ailment is an overload in his left abductor, which would not prevent him from playing in the final of the Club World Cup on Saturday if 'Los Blancos' beat Al Ahly in the semi-finals.
Carlo Ancelotti received good news from Madrid in Rabat. Courtois' MRI scan confirmed the good feelings before the trip. The Belgian goalkeeper misses the semi-finals of the Club World Cup due to a muscle overload, which prevented him from playing in Mallorca, but he could be fit to join the team on Thursday.
Real Madrid sources told 'EFE' that the optimism in the case of Courtois does not include the cases of Eder Militao and Karim Benzema, whose progress is being analysed on a daily basis.
The Brazilian is suffering from a "minor muscle injury" in the adductor of his right leg and the French striker has been suffering from a muscle strain since last Thursday's game against Valencia. They have options to travel to Rabat on Thursday but the final decision will depend on their progress.
