Thibaut Courtois declares himself ‘fully fit’ for Real Madrid’s clash at Arsenal

Thibaut Courtois has handed Real Madrid a major injury boost by declaring he is “fully fit” for his side’s Champions League clash against Arsenal.

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois travelled to London but his participation in the opening leg of the quarter-final remained in doubt following his absence for the last three matches with a knee injury.

But speaking on the eve of his side’s match at the Emirates, Courtois said: “I am fully fit and I feel good.

“It was not a big issue so I could train in the gym, and I have been on the pitch for the last day so I feel fine and 100 per cent.”
