Real Madrid will be without two of their key midfielders, Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni, for their upcoming clash against Real Sociedad at the Anoeta Stadium this Saturday. Bellingham, who has been recovering from a foot injury, was initially expected to rejoin the squad, but his absence from today’s final training session has cast doubt on his readiness to return.
Tchouameni, who picked up an injury shortly after the international break, also missed training. Despite initial hopes for a quicker recovery, the French midfielder remains sidelined and won’t be available for the match.
On a brighter note, Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao are set to return to the squad after recovering from earlier injuries. Additionally, Jesus Vallejo, who had been dealing with minor fitness issues since pre-season, is expected to be fit and available for selection.
However, the squad will still be missing several important players, including midfielders Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga, and defender David Alaba, who are all unavailable due to injury.
**Turkey’s Coach Praises Real Madrid’s Arda Guler**
Turkey’s national team coach, Vincenzo Montella, recently praised Real Madrid’s young star Arda Guler, calling him a player with “limitless dreams.” Montella’s admiration comes after Guler’s standout performance in Turkey’s Nations League victory over Iceland, where his leadership and involvement on the pitch were evident.
Montella highlighted Guler’s deep connection with the game and his eagerness to work closely with teammates and coaches. "It's fantastic to watch him in action. He’s a footballer with big dreams, and his attitude inspires confidence," Montella said.
Guler’s performances have generated excitement not only in Turkey but also in Madrid. With Bellingham, Tchouameni, Ceballos, and Camavinga potentially missing the upcoming match against Real Sociedad, fans are calling for Guler to step into a larger role. The 19-year-old has made four appearances this season, starting in just one match, and his growing talent continues to attract attention from fans and coaches alike.
