Güler joined Real Madrid from Fenerbahçe in the summer, but his debut has been delayed by injuries. He had minor surgery on a knee injury in the pre-season, and then suffered a thigh injury in September.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and his staff want Güler to be 100% fit before he starts playing, so he will not be considered for the Clásico against Barcelona on Saturday.

Güler is set to begin playing in the first team in November, when Real Madrid have three home matches in a row.

The three home matches against Rayo Vallecano (5 November), Braga (8 November) and Valencia (11 November) before the final international break of the year.

The Turkish international is expected to begin his Real career against either of the three sides mentioned above. He has recovered from injury and has been working on his match fitness.

Güler is ready to make his debut and work his way into the Real team in the month of November.
