Valdebebas Announcement: Pintus Informs Ancelotti of Arda Güler’s Dilemma
Arda Güler may face challenges in playing a crucial match, and Pintus has already briefed Ancelotti.
On January 6th, Real Madrid is set to clash with Arandina in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey at Estadio Municipal El Montecillo. Concerns arise within the Real Madrid coaching staff due to the poor condition of the pitch.
Vinícius, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, and Arda Güler are returning from injuries, with Vini and Arda likely available for the January 3rd match against Mallorca. However, there are doubts about their participation against Arandina.
The expected heavy and unfavorable state of the pitch poses a risk to Real Madrid players who are regaining form after recovering from injuries.
Arda Güler, yet to make his debut with Real Madrid, is the most worrisome case. There are considerations of not giving him any playing time in this match to avoid any risks that could lead to a setback. Pintus has discussed this matter with Ancelotti.
Nothing is decided yet. It remains to be seen if the Turkish player will feature against Mallorca. In theory, he has a good chance of making the squad, as confirmed by Arancha Rodríguez, a journalist from COPE.
Real Madrid fans eagerly anticipate seeing Arda in action after months of inactivity. This sentiment was evident in yesterday’s training session, where the player received affection and support from over 6,000 fans.
