Real Madrid’s young Turkish star Arda Guler will undergo surgery, the Spanish club’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti said on Friday.
“He is going to undergo surgery and the recovery time is quite short because he has a small problem,” Carlo Ancelotti told a press briefing. “It’s difficult for me to go into the details because of the player’s privacy.”
Guler injured internal meniscus of his right knee during a training session on July 29.
The 18-year-old moved to Real Madrid from Istanbul club Fenerbahce in July on a six-year contract.
He netted six goals and had seven assists last season in 35 matches for Fenerbahce, which came second in the Turkish Super Lig standings.
The Turkish wunderkind also led Fenerbahce to win the 2022-23 Turkish Cup.
