Like the purchases of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid made another move for the future this summer with the transfer of Arda Güler. Arrived for 20 million euros without a bonus from Fenerbahçe, he presented himself as a player capable of quickly entering the rotation to continue to progress under the merengue tunic.
Unfortunately, the project will take a turn for the worse, at least in the short term. Showing great things in training over the past few weeks, he suffered a knee injury and returned to Madrid for treatment. Victim of an injury to the medial meniscus of the right knee, Arda Güler could expect a long period of unavailability.
Up to five months of absence
The medical verdict is without appeal as reported Radio Marca. Thus, Doctor Ripoll would have diagnosed a three-month absence for the player who suffers from a partial tear in the cartilage. This would make him miss at least half of the start of the season. But it could be even longer. Even if it doesn’t seem to be Real Madrid’s preferred solution, surgery is possible.
Arda Güler would be absent for five months if this option is ever chosen. It is therefore a long period of unavailability that awaits Arda Güler. The player also reacted on his social networks: I would like to be on the pitch today, but I have to return to Madrid to complete my recovery and be ready as soon as possible. Thank you for your support!” Hala Madrid!
