Morocco manager confirms injury to Real Madrid ace Brahim Diaz: ‘It is not serious’

Morocco's manager confirms that Real Madrid star Brahim Diaz is dealing with a minor injury, stating that it is not serious. This news comes amid a series of injuries affecting Real Madrid players during the ongoing international break. Ibrahima Konate, Kylian Mbappe, and Federico Valverde have all recently returned to the Spanish capital after dealing with physical issues.

Brahim Diaz's injury was revealed by Morocco's head coach, Mohamed Ouahbi. Although the player did not feature in Morocco's 2-0 win over Gabon during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying round, Ouahbi assures the public that Brahim will remain with the national team camp for treatment and aims to return as soon as possible. This is not Brahim's first minor injury this season; he has previously dealt with some discomfort in recent weeks.

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has been cautious about managing Diaz's workload to prevent further issues, recognizing the player's versatility, a rare quality in the modern game. The Morocco national team medical staff is regularly in contact with Real Madrid's medical team to ensure the best possible care for Brahim Diaz.
