Arriving this summer from Fenerbahçe for around twenty million euros, Turkish attacking midfielder Arda Güler (18 years old) has not yet played a single minute of play in the Real Madrid jersey, alternating passages between the fields training and the infirmary due to a fragile physical situation. A hard blow for Carlo Ancelotti, who had nevertheless announced his return during the matches against Rayo Vallecano (0-0), then against Braga, in the Champions League.
“Unfortunately, this happened before the match against Braga (3-0). It still bothers him, it’s no big deal… obviously he’s depressed because he wants to play. It’s a setback, but it’s not a relapse. We have the whole truce so that he comes back as best as possible”had explained the Merengue coach about his nugget, who would suffer from a tear in his right quadriceps and should be absent for around a month according to the Spanish media.
Many injuries have annoyed internally
And after the numerous health problems experienced by Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, Casa Blanca took a radical decision within its staff, as explained Marca in its columns this Sunday. Indeed, according to the latest information from the Spanish daily, the current second in La Liga has decided to part ways with its head doctor, Dr. Niko Mehic.
Arriving at the club in the Spanish capital six years ago, he was close to the president, Florentino Perez, but also to Croatian players who played for the first team (Modric, Kovacic). However, the management of the latest injuries to Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao – cruciate ligaments at the start of the season – or even to Alaba, Mendy, Benzema and Ceballos, was not understood internally. Arda Güler’s recent relapse would therefore have been one injury too many.
