Real Madrid will be without their midfielder Brahim Diaz for a duration of three months. The Spanish giants revealed that Diaz’s medical report confirmed that the 25-year-old suffered a groin injury. Notably, the footballer had suffered the injury during the side’s clash against Real Sociedad, where they had registered a 2-0 win over their counterparts. Diaz was injured in the first half of the match as the side visited San Sebastian at the Anoeta Stadium in the fourth round of La Liga.
He had to be substituted before the half-hour mark of the first half and was replaced by Brazilian striker Rodrygo. As per reports by Xinhua, he had to be replaced by Rodrygo just 24 minutes after encountering pain in his right groin. While the Los Blancos suffered a setback in the clash, the good news is that they have Bellingham and Tchouameni, who are likely to get fit when the side kicks off the Champions League campaign against Stuttgart.
