Chelsea Football Club have released a statement regarding the condition of goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois.
The Belgium international was involved in a nasty-looking collision with Alexis Sanchez during yesterday’s London Derby, and despite playing on for several minutes, the shot-stopper was eventually subbed after blood started to come out of his ear.
The incident was very similar to the one Petr Cech suffered years ago leading to him wearing his skull-cap, but luckily for Courtois he has received positive news from the doctors.
Here is what Chelsea have released on the matter:
“Chelsea Football Club can confirm Thibaut Courtois went to hospital during our Premier League game against Arsenal yesterday [Sunday] for precautionary tests on a head injury. Those tests came back all clear.
“Thibaut was treated for a minor cut to his ear and was released from hospital last night. He is expected to report for international duty later this week.”
