Jude Bellingham: Real Madrid Star Sends Message to Courtois After ACL Injury

• Jude Bellingham has sent a message to Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois after his knee injury
• Courtois ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a training session
• The Real Madrid keeper is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the season

Real Madrid summer signing, Jude Bellingham is one of the early sympathisers of Thibaut Courtois after the Belgian goalkeeper suffered a season-ending injury.

Courtois is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after the goalkeeper damaged the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during Real Madrid’s training session on Thursday.

According to Talk Sport, the Real Madrid goalie will require surgery, which means he will likely return in April in a best-case scenario that automatically rules him out of most of the season.

Bellingham has now taken to social media to send his new teammate his best wishes, revealing that the Real Madrid goalkeeper has the team’s love and support during his tough time.

The Moroccan, one of the targets Real Madrid are considering to replace the injured Courtois, took to Instagram to wish the Belgian goalkeeper a speedy recovery after his injury was announced.
