After a long time of being hurt, Arda Guler has finally finished his healing. The Turkish star’s first game for Real Madrid is now just around the corner.
The kid has had a rough start to life in Spain. Guler hasn’t enjoyed playing in front of the Santiago Bernabeu fans yet because he keeps getting hurt.
But his dream of playing for Real Madrid in the Royal White shirt is almost a reality. The club hopes to make it happen in their next game against Mallorca.
Return in view
According to MARCA, Arda Guler will play in the last few minutes of the game against Mallorca. It will be the first game of 2024 for the Merengues.
The game will be played at home, so Real Madrid wants to use the chance to show off the player to the people and help him get back into the swing of things.
Since Guler has been out for months, Madrid is being extra careful with his recovery and wants him to slowly put miles on his legs.
So, even though it might seem like a good time to give him more playing time in the Copa del Rey, the player would take a break and stick to the strict plan that Real Madrid has set for him.
People think it’s too risky to play in a cup game this early in the league. Since his first meniscus tear, which needed surgery, and the blows to his muscles that followed, he has been unable to play at all.
It is said that these repeated illnesses have also made him much less fit, which is why Real Madrid needs to slowly bring him back.
Still, Real Madrid has full trust in the player and has no plans to send him on a short-term loan any time soon.
