Courtois, aged 33, incurred an adductor muscle injury during Madrid's goalless league draw against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

Madrid has not disclosed how long the goalkeeper will be sidelined, but Spanish media reports suggest he will be out for approximately 10 to 12 days.

This means Courtois might return in time for their LaLiga fixture versus Elche on November 23rd.

Belgium will secure qualification for next year's World Cup if they defeat Kazakhstan on Saturday.

They will conclude their Group J matches against Liechtenstein three days later.
