Brahim Díaz will miss the upcoming match against Mallorca due to a long adductor injury in his left thigh, marking the twelfth injury-related absence for the team this season. The injury, which has been bothering him since the Clasico, was confirmed following medical tests this Wednesday. Madrid’s coaching staff hopes he can recover in time to participate in the last match of the season against Real Sociedad.
His injury represents another setback for coach Carlo Ancelotti, as the squad faces severe challenges with a total of eleven players sidelined, including key players like Carvajal, Vinicius, and Tchouameni, who is dealing with an accumulation of yellow cards. This situation puts Ancelotti in a precarious position regarding team composition, especially since only seven players from the first team must be present on the pitch according to RFEF regulations.
As a result, the team is likely to rely on youth players from the academy, known as La Fábrica, to fill the gaps left by injuries. Young talents such as Jacobo Ramón and Mario Rivas may get the chance to showcase their skills, and Endrick is also expected to step up, taking Brahim’s place as they seek to finish the season strong.
Despite the challenges, there is hope that these young players will seize their opportunities to shine on a big stage. It’s a crucial moment for the future of the team, showing the depth of talent available in the academy. The Madrid community remains optimistic as the squad continues to battle through injuries and aims for a strong finale to the season.
