Real Madrid’s backroom staff have plenty to do early on in the season with yet another star injured on Saturday.

Brahim Diaz was hauled off the pitch with an apparent ankle injury after only 20 minutes against Real Sociedad.

The midfielder joins a lengthy list of injured stars, including David Alaba, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos and Jude Bellingham.

One key boost for Los Blancos was the return of Éder Militão but it’s still another big headache for Carlo Ancelotti.

Previously injured Ferland Mendy and Jesus Vallejo also made the cut.
