Thibaut Courtois became a big talking point last night when Spain defeated Belgium to advance into the semifinals, thanks to a late goal from Mikel Merino.
The goal came out of a parrying error from goalkeeper Senne Lammens, who replaced Courtois midway through the second half after the Real Madrid goalkeeper picked up a knock during the game.
Lammens' mistake cost Belgium dearly as Spain were able to hold on to their slender lead. To make things worse for Real Madrid, it was reported that Courtois may miss 4-8 weeks thanks to the fresh injury.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Courtois should be ready to start the new season despite his injury blow against Spain.
