Arda Güler did not have the perfect start to his Real Madrid career when he joined last summer.  Three injuries on the bounce meant the young Turk would miss the entirety of the first half of the campaign.

For a player who was sidelined for more than four months, life did not come easy at Güler who looked rusty post injury and barely got any game time, not until the final stretches of the season. Now, if reports are to be believed, Carlo Ancelotti plans on handing the youngstar more game time.

Important Role for Güler this season

Reliable Spanish newspaper, Diario AS in a major update are claiming Carlo Ancelotti plans to use Güler more this season.

Jude Bellingham suffered an injury which is said to rule him out of action for one month. The Englishman’s injury meant a spot in Midfield was automatically open with Brahim Diaz, Arda Güler and Modrić all favorites.

According to the report by AS, Arda Güler is the chosen one by Ancelotti. The youngstars showings have been well received by the coaching staff, and his performance against Valladolid in the weekend when he had five shots in the direction of goal further strengthen his case.

Another start vs las Palmas

Spanish newspaper, Relevo has released an  Ancelotti “to-use” line-up on Thursday when the merengues travel away to las Palmas. In the lineup, Arda Güler featured in attack alongside Mbappe and Vinicius.

If this lineup is to be believed, it means Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to take a risk at trusting Güler on the night ahead of the already experience Rodrygo in the right-wing position.

Indeed, Arda Güler at right wing will mean Ancelotti has chosen a defined approach, where he will have a natural left-winger (Vinicius) cutting from the left and a natural Right-winger (Arda Güler) gutting from the Right. This will avoid scenarios where all Vinicius, Mbappe & Rodrygo have been spotted in the Left-wing at the same time.
