Official: Real Madrid confirm thigh injury to forward; could miss Sevilla encounter | OneFootball

The injury woes continue to haunt Real Madrid as they have now officially confirmed that Brahim Diaz has been sidelined with a problem in his thigh, hours before facing RCD Mallorca.

“Following tests carried out today on our player Brahim Díaz by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the adductor longus of the left thigh. Pending evolution,” the statement from the club read.

Brahim becomes the 12th first-team player to be ruled out of tonight’s game for Real Madrid, leaving Carlo Ancelotti with bare bones as far as the squad is concerned.

The versatile forward was said to be dealing with discomfort in his thigh since the Clasico defeat at the weekend and while he was initially named in the squad for tonight’s game at the Santiago Bernabeu, problems in training have prompted the club to withdraw him.

Brahim could miss Sevilla encounter

In fact, a report from AS even states that Brahim could end up missing the weekend La Liga encounter against Sevilla and return only for the final game of the league campaign vs Real Sociedad.

This comes as a major concern for Real Madrid, who are already without Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo Goes with injuries, with the latter unlikely to play again this season due to physical problems.

Brahim was expected to be in the starting lineup alongside Kylian Mbappe tonight given Vinicius and Rodrygo’s absence. Now, Endrick could be in line for a starting berth with the Moroccan international confirmed to be out injured.
