Ancelotti Plans for Arda Guler Ahead of Atletico Match
Real Madrid, who will face Atletico Madrid away in the Madrid derby tomorrow, may give a chance to national star Arda Guler due to Mbappe’s injury. The absence of Kylian Mbappe raises questions about which players Carlo Ancelotti will field. The French star was injured in the match against Alaves, and the club announced that he has a biceps femoris muscle injury and will be out for three weeks.
ANCELOTTI’S ARDA GULER PLAN
It is reported that Carlo Ancelotti is considering several options for the lineup in the Madrid derby without Mbappe. According to Marca, Arda Guler could see more playing time in Mbappe’s absence. The report states that Ancelotti may start the derby with Rodrygo up front, Vinicius on the left wing, and Arda Guler on the right, with Endrick on the bench.
Another option is for Bellingham to play up front, with the classic duo of Vinicius and Rodrygo on the wings. In this case, Arda Guler would play behind this trio. A scenario where Arda Guler might remain on the bench includes Endrick up front, Vinicius and Rodrygo on the wings, and Bellingham playing behind them. Carlo Ancelotti is said to have tested all three plans in training and will make his decision on match day.
