Petr Cech was injured in the first half[GETTY]The Belgian keeper is currently on loan at Atletico from Chelsea and was the centre of controversy when UEFA ruled that Courtois could face his parent club.
Chelsea believed they had a clause in place that meant Atletico would have to pay a fee for Courtois to be involved against the Blues.
But the story took another twist on Tuesday when Cech fell awkwardly and needed to be substituted.
Thibaut Courtois is on loan from Chelsea [GETTY]Chelsea fans took to Twitter to jokingly ask whether Courtois could be recalled from his loan mid-game and whether Mark Schwarzer - the man who eventually came on for the Blues - could play for Atletico instead with Courtois swapping ends.

Here are some of the best reactions from fans, as well as those looking ahead to the implications of Cech's injury for the match against Liverpool:
