Real Madrid must get ready for a challenging period ahead as the team attempts to deal with the absence of Jude Bellingham, despite the fact that they just defeated Real Valladolid by a score of one goal to three.
As a result of a muscular injury, the Englishman will not be able to participate for at least one month. Considering the player’s ability to supply Real Madrid with both creative and offensive potency in the last third of the field, his absence might have significant repercussions for the club.
In the event that Bellingham has an injury, Carlo Ancelotti may be forced to improvise, and here is where Arda Guler enters the scenario.
Any more time for Arda Guler to speak?
Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly hinted at an extended role for Arda Guler this season, which is a development that comes as a comfort to fans who are eager to see more of the Turkish prodigy. This information was revealed by Diario AS.
The fact that Jude Bellingham will be out of action for a month due to an injury gives Carlo Ancelotti the opportunity to make some changes to his starting lineup, which in turn gives Guler the chance to take center stage.
Guler, who is 19 years old, made his debut in the preseason for the club by playing against AC Milan and in the climactic match against Barcelona.
Ancelotti sees a lot of versatility in the young midfielder.
“Arda’s best position is between the lines, he can be a number 10, he can be a right midfielder. In the future, he could be one of the three midfielders,” Ancelotti commented during Real Madrid’s US tour.
With the fierce rivalry among Madrid’s players, Güler’s tactical adaptability may be essential as he attempts to earn more playing time.
Ancelotti’s ability to rotate and strike the appropriate balance will be crucial because talented players like Brahim Díaz, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Vinícius, Endrick, and Vinícius are all fighting for starting berths.
Güler is already displaying promise as a goal threat, suggesting that the Italian manager’s strategy is having an effect.
He only saw a small amount of action the previous season, but he scored on all six of his attempts on goal. When it comes to Güler’s potential, Ancelotti has been very clear: “He should not play on the left, with that left foot of his.” He ought to take advantage of the chance to shoot.
Bellingham’s injury may provide Güler an opportunity to surpass his 440 minutes from the previous campaign. Given Ancelotti’s faith in the youthful talent, Güler may have a breakout season and add another creative player to Madrid’s roster.
