MADRID, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid will be without attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz for around three months after tests confirmed a groin injury he suffered in Saturday's 2-0 win away to Real Sociedad.

"Following tests carried out today on our Brahim Diaz by the Real Madrid medical department, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to the abductor longus muscle of his right leg. His progress will be monitored," informed the club website, with the Spanish press informing he will need around three months to recover.

The Morocco international had a rare start against Real Sociedad due to injuries to Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, but had to be replaced by Rodrygo after just 24 minutes after noticing pain in his right groin.

The good news for Real Madrid is that both Bellingham and Tchouameni are likely to be fit when Real Madrid kick off their Champions League campaign against Stuttgart on Tuesday night.

David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos will miss out on Tuesday as they continue to recover from their respective injuries. Enditem
