Guler who seems not to be deterred by the setbacks, has made a steady but lengthy effort to recover from his injuries. The young forward's determination looks set to have yielded following reports by 90mins that the young attacker has resumed full training with the club, and a potential date for his debut looks to be on the horizon.

Guler to make Real Madrid debut

As reported by Diario AS, the young attacker could feature for Los Blancos this weekend away at Sevilla.

Nonetheless, the report underscores concerns about Guler's lack of rhythm, which could be an issue for the forward.

Real Madrid are keen to exercise caution in gradually integrating young talent into the first team.

Among the Madridistas, there is palpable excitement regarding Guler's potential debut, as fans believe that his fresh legs could bolster the team's somewhat thin attacking options.

Modric hails Real Madrid wonderkid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric showering praise on Guler, referring to the young talent as a 'once-in-a-generation' player.

Guler, who has often been compared to Lionel Messi due to his shared characteristics with the Argentine World Cup winner, completed a €20 million move to Madrid from Fenerbahce this summer.

Unfortunately, the 18-year-old has been unable to exhibit his skills at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium due to a meniscus injury he sustained in the pre-season.
