Laliga: Courtois To Return This Weekend

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will play his first match for the Spanish club after a nine-month injury layoff against Cadiz this weekend.

Belgian international Courtois, 31, has missed the entire season with a knee ligament injury and suffered a further setback in March which required another knee operation.

"Yes, Thibaut is fine. He will play tomorrow (Saturday) after a long period of absence," said Ancelotti. "He's looking forward to playing. We're delighted to see him return."
