Díaz, 25, suffered a thigh injury during Real Madrid’s match against Real Sociedad in the fifth round of the Spanish League, which kept him out of action for around 44 days.
He returned to take part in the heavy defeat against Barcelona in the Clásico last week, where he came on in the 77th minute, replacing Frenchman Eduardo Camavinga.

Ancelotti prefers Brahim Diaz to Guler
According to the newspaper “Marca”, Díaz’s return could reduce Güler’s chances of participating in Real Madrid, since coach Carlo Ancelotti prefers Díaz due to his experience and skills.
Guler, aged 19, may find himself forced to seek a bigger playing opportunity outside the walls of the Whites, especially as he has not had any real opportunities since his arrival, his role having remained marginal given Díaz’s absence due to injury. .
