Injured Real Madrid star will be ready and available for the World Cup – Romano
Real Madrid were dealt a double blow earlier this week as it was confirmed that both Eder Militao and Arda Guler were sidelined with hamstring injuries.
Both players will not play for the team again this season which comes as a bitter blow for Alvaro Arbeloa & co., whose La Liga title hopes are hanging by a thread.
Now, providing an update on the situation, Fabrizio Romano reports that Guler will recover and be ready and available in time for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The versatile midfielder’s injury is not expected to hurt his chances of representing Turkey at the summer extravaganza in North America.
This will come as a huge relief for the Turkish national team, for Guler is one of their most important players and having him at the World Cup will be key to their chances of advancing in the tournament.

Turkey are part of Group D at the World Cup and begin their campaign on 14 June against Australia, before facing Paraguay on 20 June and hosts USA six days later.
Arda Guler is expected to be ready for the World Cup despite being sidelined for the rest of the season.
Both Eder Militao and Arda Guler suffered hamstring injuries that will keep them out for the remainder of the season.
The injuries are a significant setback for Real Madrid, jeopardizing their hopes of winning the La Liga title.

He has 28 caps for the Turkish national team, in which he has found the back of the net on six occasions and recording seven assists, one of which came in the World Cup qualification playoffs semi-final against Romania last month.
