Real Madrid's injury woes continue to deepen, with Brahim Díaz becoming the sixth player sidelined due to injury.
Carlo Ancelotti now faces the Champions League opener against Stuttgart without four key midfielders.
Brahim Díaz is set to miss six matches, adding to Real Madrid's mounting injury troubles.
The Málaga-born player had to leave Saturday’s match against Real Sociedad in the 24th minute after experiencing discomfort in his right adductor five minutes earlier.
Despite attempting to carry on, Brahim eventually signaled to be substituted and was replaced by Rodrygo.
A microtear has been diagnosed, ruling him out for about a month.
This injury means Brahim will miss Madrid's first Champions League game under the new format, as they host Stuttgart on Tuesday, September 17, to begin their title defense.
