Thibaut Courtois: Could Be Held Out Monday
Courtois is expected to be held out of Chelsea's Premier League opener Monday against Burnley, ESPN FC reports.
Analysis:
Courtois is in a battle with Petr Cech for the starting keeper position but after making it to the quarterfinal of the World Cup with Belgium, manager Jose Mourinho has deemed Courtois not fit enough to begin the season. He isn't expected to be out long and fantasy owners will have to wait until Gameweek 2 to find out if Courtois has won the job or not.
