Thibaut Courtois 'misses second training session'

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has reportedly missed training for the second day in a row.

Belgian international Courtois was absent from Monday's training session at Cobham, where Blues boss Maurizio Sarri allegedly planned to speak to the stopper about his future at the club.

According to Sky Sports News, Courtois failed to turn up to Tuesday's session as an exit from Stamford Bridge becomes more likely for the 26-year-old.

The goalkeeper has been linked with a switch back to Spain to be closer to his family, while Courtois's agent has also suggested that the stopper has made clear his desire to leave West London.

Chelsea have also allegedly made Stoke City man Jack Butland their top target, should Courtois leave before Thursday's 5pm transfer deadline.
