Why is Arda Güler not playing today for Real Madrid against Real Betis in LaLiga?
The young midfielder was not included in Álvaro Arbeloa’s squad for the game against the verdiblancos.
Real Madrid’s young Turkish midfielder Arda Güler will not feature for his side against Real Betis today in LaLiga after suffering an injury that will keep him out for the remainder of the campaign.
A muscle injury, later diagnosed as a hamstring issue affecting the biceps femoris, kept him out of the final training session ahead of the clash at the Cartuja.
Shortly after the news of his injury became public, Güler was ruled out for the rest of the season.
Real Madrid head into the game against Real Betis with little to play for in LaLiga; three points in Seville only pushes what many see as inevitable a week further down the line: a Barcelona league title. Recent results have not been ideal for Madrid, who are not longer in the Champions League, and are set for another season without silverware.
Despite this, there is a strong desire within the club to finish the campaign on a high ahead of the World Cup this summer.
