Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will miss the Champions League trip to face Olympiacos because of a stomach bug, said the Spanish giants Tuesday.
The Belgian stopper “has been diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis” said Madrid in a statement ahead of Wednesday’s match in Athens.
Andriy Lunin is set to fill in for the record 15-time champions, who are seventh in the league phase table.
Madrid have failed to win any of their last three games across all competitions, including a 1-0 defeat by Liverpool in their previous Champions League match.
