Guler, who joined from Fenerbahce in the summer, has yet to make his debut for Los Blancos. He underwent a knee operation in August and encountered a thigh issue during the later stages of his recovery.
Although Guler has returned to training, the 18-year-old has only been on the bench for Real Madrid's recent matches against Rayo Vallecano and Braga in La Liga and the Champions League. Despite expectations that he might feature off the bench against Braga, especially with Real Madrid holding a comfortable three-goal lead just past the hour mark, Guler was once again left out.
Ancelotti addressed Guler's situation in the post-match press conference, explaining that the club is taking a cautious approach due to the consecutive injuries the young player suffered.
