Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has made his decision over when Arda Güler will play for the club after recovering from injury.
Güler will be sidelined until 2024 due to injuries and poor luck. The young Turkish player has been unable to make his debut for Real Madrid due to a series of setbacks.

The medical and technical staff are not rushing Güler’s recovery and they expect him to be back at full capacity next month when the Super Cup and the Cup come into play.
Real Madrid have had a really bad season when it comes to injuries. However, there was some good news when Ancelotti was asked about the return dates of a few notable absentees.
Addressing that point, Ancelotti said: “Vinícius, Camavinga and Arda Güler will all be back after the holidays.”
Güler could therefore make his debut against Mallorca on 3 January, the first game back after the brief winter break.
There were rumours that he could be back before the end of the year but it appears Ancelotti is going to wait a bit longer to ensure a smooth transition back into the team after spending the first half of the season on the sidelines.
Other injured players, such as Tchouameni, Carvajal, Camavinga, and Vinicius, are also progressing adequately but there is no set date for their return.
