September 15, (THEWILL) – Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz is set to miss up to three months of action due to a muscle injury sustained during the team’s 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad. The midfielder, making only his second start of the season, was forced to leave the pitch after just 25 minutes of play on Saturday.
Initial assessments suggested a minor issue, with early reports expressing optimism about a return within a month. However, subsequent scans revealed a more serious long adductor injury, significantly extending the expected recovery time.
Further medical evaluations scheduled for next week will determine the final recovery plan for the 24-year-old Spanish player. This injury marks an unusual setback for Diaz, who has rarely been sidelined throughout his professional career. It represents his first injury since joining Real Madrid’s senior squad and his longest anticipated absence since a brief knee problem in March 2023.
The extended layoff poses a challenge for both Diaz and Real Madrid, as the team will need to adapt their midfield strategy in his absence. The club’s medical staff will work closely with Diaz to ensure a full recovery and safe return to first-team action.
