Quite a prize of war in the summer transfer window of Real Madrid, the arrival of Turkish prodigy Arda Güler (18 years old) for 20 million euros had all the makings of an interesting bet for the future. Coming out of two promising seasons with Fenerbahçe, the versatile attacking midfielder, capable of playing as a right winger, arrived with high expectations. Unfortunately, nothing has gone as planned so far. Interesting from the first training sessions, he was injured at the end of July in his meniscus. Quickly operated on, he was due to return at the end of September but ultimately he contracted a new physical problem.
“After the examinations carried out on our player Arda Güler by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he was diagnosed with an injury to the left rectus femoris muscle. Evolution pending » announced the Merengues, the player’s return being postponed by 3 to 4 weeks. Returning to training last week, he no longer feels the slightest pain and his return was planned for October 24 against Galatasaray. Finally, he should make his big debut with the Merengues later.
Arda Güler expected in November
According to A.S., Arda Güler should miss the match against Sevilla on October 21 and if he joins the group, he should not have any minutes. If a certain fragility of Arda Güler was noted by the medical staff at Casa Blanca, he also demonstrates high recovery capacities. Faced with the complicated schedule which presents itself with Sevilla therefore, but also Braga on October 24 and FC Barcelona on the 28th, the debut of Arda Güler seems quite improbable and we are mainly banking on the match against Rayo Vallecano on November 5 on the side of Valdebebas to have a 100% Arda Güler. To do this, the Madrid team has an idea in mind.
The Merengues intend to put in place a specific program for the young Turk so that he can really integrate into the team in a lasting manner from November. The objective is also to allow him to strengthen his physique, he who was still considered frail. An individual plan is planned for him to gain muscle mass. This is something that Real Madrid had already put in place when Rodrygo Goes arrived from Santos in the summer of 2019. A mini pre-season for Arda Güler who will alternate training with the group, and individual sessions, to quickly make up for his competitiveness gap with his teammates.
