Brahim Díaz Out for at Least Eight Weeks

Real Madrid midfielder Brahim Díaz will be sidelined for at least eight weeks after suffering a muscle injury during his team's La Liga match against Real Sociedad. The club confirmed the diagnosis on Monday.

Díaz was forced off the pitch in the second half of the game, which Real Madrid won 2-0. Subsequent medical tests revealed the extent of the injury. The setback is a significant blow to the Spanish champions, who were counting on Díaz to contribute to their attacking options.

The absence of Díaz will mean that Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's manager, will have to rely on other players to fill the void. The likes of Rodrygo Goes, Marco Asensio, and Eden Hazard are expected to see increased playing time.

Real Madrid's next match is against Atlético Madrid in the Madrid Derby on September 23rd. Díaz's absence will be keenly felt in this high-stakes encounter.
