Los Blancos will now switch their attention back to La Liga, where they sit top of the division, eight points clear of second-placed Barcelona ahead of El Clasico.

Courtois underwent surgery on an ACL injury last August; the Belgian had been in line to return at the end of March, but it was revealed before the last international break that he had suffered another knee injury in training, leading to a further operation which has ended his campaign.
