Carlo Ancelotti hopes Thibaut Courtois will return to training on Thursday

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti hopes Thibaut Courtois can return to training on Thursday ahead of Sunday’s Clasico against FC Barcelona in the league. Hampered by sciatica for ten days, Courtois had missed the reception of Osasuna and the trip to Getafe in the league and the reception of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League last Wednesday.

On Monday, during the press conference ahead of the Shakhtar duel on Tuesday, Ancelotti confirmed that Courtois is ‘much better’. “The goal is for him to start training on Thursday in order to be ready for Sunday,” said the Italian coach.

Ancelotti also spoke about the situation of Eden Hazard who hasn’t played a single minute in the last three matches. “He could play or not play, as always. I don’t have my composition in mind yet. Those who haven’t played, will play. For the others, an assessment will be made with the medical staff.”
