The reason why Arda Güler trains with a bandage: his injury is confirmed

He caused a scare with his bandage on his thigh, and it has been confirmed that he has an injury

Arda Güler left everyone worried this Wednesday after being seen in training with a bandage. It's true that he has been following a specific plan during the holidays to gain muscle mass. However, there were concerns about his thigh in case he had a serious problem.

Although it's important to note that he was able to complete the session with the rest of his teammates. However, it wasn't until now that we've learned the reason for that bandage. Journalist Rubén Martín reported it first, and Defensa Central has been able to confirm this information.

The problem that Güler has is not serious at all, so there's calm within the white squad. It was a minor blow so his presence isn't at risk, not even in the friendly he'll play. Xabi Alonso will be able to test him against Tirol with the new role he has assigned him to generate play in midfield.

Although the medical staff will closely monitor this and any mishap that may occur. They know that preseason will be unusually short because of Tebas and its schedule. They don't want to take the slightest risk that could compromise his participation against Osasuna.

Arda Güler is already leaving good impressions in preseason

We've had 3 days of training at Real Madrid but some small conclusions can already be drawn. That's what the coaching staff has done with Arda Güler and they're impressed. He's showing a great physical level during preseason and that's a reason for excitement.

Xabi wants to use him in central midfield, moving him away from the wing, and there he needs to have more physical strength. For now it seems that he's achieving it, following a personal training plan. During the summer he has worked hard to gain some muscle mass which will be very important

At Real Madrid they're amazed by the attitude Arda Güler is showing in training. He's one of the players who is standing out the most thanks to the level he's showing. This could earn him an undisputed place in Xabi Alonso's plans, if he wasn't already.
