Thibaut Courtois scores outrageous volley in Chelsea training as keeper prepares for Leicester clash
THIBAUT COURTOIS has shown he is not just a great shot stopper after netting an outrageous volley in training.
The big Belgian has become one of the best goalkeepers in the world at Chelsea and helped them to the Premier League title last year.
But it seems he could be pushing for a starting place up front with this absolute beauty that Alvaro Morata would be proud of.
Courtois is casually walking in the box as one of his Blues team-mates gets between the sticks.
The ball comes flying in and Courtois sets himself and swings his right foot at it.
But to everyone's surprise, the ball smashes against the underside of the bar and over the line.
Courtois even caps off the amazing goal by wheeling away and sliding on his knees in celebration in front of a coach.
The former Atletico Madrid keeper returns for the Blues this weekend after the international break.

Antonio Conte's men take on Leicester at the King Power Stadium on Saturday at 3pm.
But one man who is expected to miss out is Courtois' Belgian team-mate Eden Hazard.
And Courtois has told Chelsea fans not to expect the same blistering form from the playmaker upon his return from injury.
Courtois said: "He is ready, he is doing well and is ready to play.
"But we cannot forget he was injured for four months, he had surgery.
"You cannot expect - if he plays on Saturday, which is up to the manager - if he gets minutes you will see his quality but maybe he is not at his top form like he was last season and you cannot forget that.
