Spanish sports publication "Marca" has delved into the factors contributing to the diminished presence of young talent Arda Güler in the Real Madrid squad. Güler, initially seen as a promising prospect under coach Álvaro Arbeloa, has seen his influence wane in recent fixtures. The publication points to two significant developments impacting his game time.

Firstly, "Marca" notes criticism from club president Florentino Pérez regarding the reliance on young players during critical junctures of the season. However, the more substantial reason appears to be the return of key senior players from injury. The reintegration of stars like Jude Bellingham into the starting lineup has directly curtailed Güler's opportunities, relegating him to the bench in recent matches. This shift highlights the competitive nature of the Real Madrid squad and the challenges faced by emerging talents when established stars are fit.
