An insight into the reasoning behind Arda Güler’s recent lack of minutes with Real Madrid has on Monday been forthcoming online.

The info comes courtesy of Relevo, and points towards as much as having come as a form of punishment.

Güler, for his part, was left to watch on from the bench for the entirety of the 90 minutes once more on Sunday evening, as Real Madrid got the better of Girona.

This marked the fifth game in succession in which the 19-year-old was completely left out.

As much has given rise to mounting unrest across the fanbase of the Spanish champions, who are desperate to see Güler succeed in the club’s colours.

Such supporters will, in turn, no doubt be interested to hear of something of an explanation being provided for the Turk’s recent absence.

As per a report from Relevo:

‘His last appearance was in the match between Real Madrid and Leganés in Butarque. And that is the main reason for his absence. His performance did not please the Madrid coaching staff at all, and has condemned him at this stage of the season.’

The following are listed as just some of the aspects of Güler’s Copa del Rey performance which left Carlo Ancelotti and his staff unhappy:

  • Bad offensive decisions
  • Anarchic with the ball
  • Jumping badly under pressure
  • Disorientated tactically

Add this to ongoing questions over the youngster’s defensive commitment in training, and Güler has fallen out of favour with those in a position of power at Valdebebas.
