“I'm sad about the injury, but there's one less day left until we're back. We have to face small obstacles that make us stronger. I'll be there until I recover, helping and cheering on the team like any other fan at every game. Thank you all for your displays of affection. It's much easier this way. I can't wait to see you again and enjoy it together! See you soon. #HalaMadrid" Diaz posted.
