Real Madrid continues to struggle with a worrying series of injuries. Just hours before their match against Mallorca, the Madrid club announced that Brahim Díaz would miss the game due to a muscle injury in his adductor. This injury brings the total number of absentees for this match to twelve, with eleven of them being medical-related. This situation weakens a squad that has already been heavily depleted, just as the season enters its decisive phase.
Brahim Díaz’s absence is a blow for Carlo Ancelotti. The Moroccan international has often played a key role, whether as a starter or as a substitute. His absence adds to those of several key players, such as Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Militão, and Rüdiger, forcing the coach to adjust his tactical plans.
In a context where every point counts to keep pace with FC Barcelona, Real Madrid is now forced to field a heavily reshuffled lineup. The club hopes for a quick return of its injured players, but no specific date has been given for Brahim Díaz’s return, with his recovery expected to be closely monitored in the coming days.
