Real Madrid, finally the baptism of fire for Arda Guler

Turkish nugget, Arda Guler, could make his debut with Real Madrid this weekend.

Arda Guler is likely to make his long-awaited debut for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey match against Arandina on Saturday evening.

Guler starting this Saturday?

The young Turkish prodigy (18 years old) has not yet played for Real Madrid since his arrival this summer from Fenerbahçe. He injured his knee during the preseason.

The attacking midfielder was on the bench in Wednesday’s 1-0 win over Mallorca, but did not play. In the second half, he went to warm up before returning to the bench.

Carlo Ancelotti, the Merengue coach, asked this Friday about his summer recruit. “He feels better and he could start tomorrow,” said the Italian technician.

Ancelotti added that Ferland Mendy will not be in the squad for Real’s trip to a team of 3e division. But Eduardo Camavinga will be available after missing the last eight matches due to a knee problem.
