Tests clear injury fears
Courtois underwent medical tests that ruled out any significant damage, according to Marca.
Analysis: Courtois was forced off with muscle discomfort in his leg during Belgium's World Cup quarterfinal loss to Spain, sparking concern given the injury occurred in the same area that had sidelined him for several weeks in March with a quadriceps issue. Monday's examinations confirmed the scare was a false alarm, with no serious damage found. The goalkeeper will now resume his vacation following a long season and a World Cup campaign before rejoining the group in late July as part of Real Madrid's staggered return schedule for internationals. Courtois is expected to be available for the start of the new season without any disruption to his timeline.
Exits with apparent injury
Courtois was subbed off during the second half of Friday's quarterfinal match against Spain.
Analysis: Courtois asked to be subbed off midway through the second half due to an apparent injury, and further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the problem. Senne Lammens, who plays for Manchester United, replaced the veteran shot-stopper.
