‘Arda can play in midfield’

Ancelotti also addressed Guler’s versatility, noting that the midfielder could potentially feature in a central role. “Arda can play in midfield. We need to work on this aspect, as it’s something we haven’t explored before,” he added.

In a notable contribution last season, Arda Guler secured a victory for Real Madrid in their match against Real Sociedad. Meanwhile, according to reports in Spanish media, Guler may be included in the starting eleven for tomorrow’s game against Real Sociedad.
