Mariano Díaz is already at home recovering from the nose surgery he had to undergo yesterday Sunday after the fortuitous stomp he received from a rival after a fall in the final moments of Saturday’s game against Elche. The Real Madrid striker, who received four stitches ‘in situ’, had to undergo surgery to have his nasal bones repositioned. In the image published on social networks, Mariano appears with a bandage on his temple and a bulky bandage on his nose. “Thank you all for the messages of support. Everything has gone well. No pain, no gain [sin esfuerzo no hay recompensa]”, the Hispanic-Dominican wrote in his publication on social networks.
The bandage that covers your hidden nose a splint that Mariano will have to wear for the next ten days. During this recovery period, you will not be prevented from training, but you must do it alone or with non-contact exercises. Afterwards, you will have to wear a special mask in training and matches.

Elche’s was Mariano’s first game this season with Real Madrid. The forward started in the absence of Benzema due to rest and the physical discomfort of Jovic, who dragged a blow to the knee from the last game he played. Now will miss at least the Champions League matches against Shakhtar (Wednesday 3rd, 6:45 pm) and League matches against Rayo Vallecano (Saturday 6th, 9:00 pm). Afterwards, the national team break will give him fifteen more days of margin to complete his recovery and be available for Ancelotti in the league visit to Granada (Sunday 21, 16:15).
