Mariano confirms he will need operation following nose fracture
Reports claimed that Mariano fractured his nose in the match against Elche. The Real Madrid striker has confirmed it on his Instagram.
"I couldn't be happier with my debut and with the team's win, but, unfortunately, after a bad fall, I broke my nose and I will need to get it operated," Mariano has written.
"I will be out for a few days, but I already look forward to being back with my teammates. Another bump in the road, another reason to keep fighting."
The match against Elche became Mariano's first of the season. The 28-year-old did not score but he provided the assist to Vinicius Junior's first goal.
