Ancelotti on Guler’s injury

The Real Madrid gaffer had initially downplayed the injury suffered by the 18-year-old. As quoted by Managing Madrid the Italian manager said:

“It’s not a serious problem, it’s a small problem with the meniscus. But, I’m not able to enter too much into the medical side of things.”

Ancelotti appears to be puzzled as he faces the challenge of his team's limited attacking options. Adding to this, the club's main transfer target – Kylian Mbappe made it clear not too long ago that he intends to remain with Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

The Spanish powerhouse will be eager to swiftly recover Guler, as he is poised to play a crucial role in the upcoming season.
