Brahim Diaz Ssuffers injury setback in Real Madrid’s win over Real Sociedad
Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz is facing uncertainty after being forced off the pitch due to injury during his team’s 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad on Saturday. The Moroccan international, who left the field in the 24th minute clutching the back of his right thigh, is reportedly experiencing discomfort in his right adductor, according to The Athletic’s Guillermo Rai.
The 24-year-old attacking midfielder, who has been in excellent form recently, will undergo further medical assessments on Sunday to determine the extent of the injury.
The tests are expected to clarify how long the Atlas Lion will be sidelined, a situation that has caused significant concern for both Real Madrid and the Moroccan national team.
This injury comes at an unfortunate time for Diaz, who was coming off an impressive international break, scoring twice in two matches for Morocco.
His strong performances had raised hopes for a promising start to Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League campaign, set to begin in just a few days.
Despite showing flashes of brilliance as a substitute this season, Diaz has struggled to replicate that success as a starter.
In a match against Las Palmas on August 29, he was substituted at halftime after a lackluster first-half display.
This injury, sustained during a promising start to the match against Real Sociedad, now threatens to keep him out of action for several weeks.
The timing is particularly cruel for Diaz, as he had been eager to solidify his place in Carlo Ancelotti’s lineup and build on the momentum of his international performances.
For now, both club and country will await the results of Sunday’s tests to determine the next steps in his recovery.
The club informs that Brahim has discomfort in his right adductor. He will undergo tests tomorrow. @TheAthleticFC
