Jude Bellingham will be sidelined for a month due to an injury to his right leg, which has opened up questions about who will replace him in Real Madrid’s starting lineup.
Expectations were that Arda Güler would get a bigger chance to play with the Englishman’s absence, especially since the Turk is seen as better suited to the middle rather than the wings.
However, according to the “Relevo” network, the trend for coach Carlo Ancelotti is to bring back the experienced and first captain of Real Madrid, Luka Modric, to the starting lineup as a replacement for Bellingham.
The Italian coach believes that Modric’s ability to work defensively is what Real Madrid needs most at the moment, and therefore he has the advantage over any other player on the royal club’s list.
Considering that Modric is approaching his 40th year, it would be logical that his participation would open the door for the participation of Güler and others as substitutes for him, and thus everyone would benefit from Ancelotti’s choice.
