Real Madrid Brahim Diaz to replace Jude Bellingham against Osasuna

The English player missed Real Madrid's match against Celta Vigo last weekend and is also sidelined for today's game against Osasuna. Although it's a setback for Carlo Ancelotti's team, they do possess formidable replacements in his position.

According to AS, Brahim Diaz is slated to take on the role of attacking midfielder for Real Madrid at Estadio El Sadar tonight. Notably, he stepped in for Bellingham last weekend and admirably filled the position.

The Spanish media outlet further discloses that Brahim Diaz has been the substitute for Bellingham in all nine games the English talent has been absent so far this season. Consequently, he has become Ancelotti's dependable backup for this pivotal role.

Bellingham's absences this season include two games for rest, three due to an ankle injury, two for suspension, and two because of a shoulder dislocation.
