Why has Arda Guler not started enough games?

Despite facing setbacks such as injuries earlier in the season, Guler has remained on the sidelines for most of the campaign.

His limited playing time, totalling just 98 minutes, per Transfermarkt, across seven games, is a result of injuries and the veteran Italian tactician's assessment of his readiness for top-level competition.

However, with an opportunity looming against Real Sociedad, Arda aims to showcase his abilities with a potential start.
