Brahim Diaz to be available for Rayo clash as tests rule out injury

Medical tests on Brahim Diaz on Thursday ruled out that the midfielder is suffering from a calf injury in his right leg after leaving the field in the 84th minute of his side's 1-0 win over Leipzig on Tuesday.

Real Madrid can rest assured that an MRI scan taken just after the match confirmed the player's feelings. "I felt a knock and I don't know if my soleus went up. I'll have tests and I don't think it's anything serious," Diaz told reporters on Tuesday.

As a result, the 24-year-old will be available for Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti in La Liga matchday 25 fixture against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. Diaz is expected to play as a starter after putting in several superb performances in recent matches.
