Ancelotti explains why Arda Guler receives little game time

"Why is it difficult for Arda Guler to receive game time?" Carlo Ancelotti has been asked.

"It's a question of competition with the other players. He is very young, he has to be patient, but he has the level to start games," the boss added.

Indeed, it's too difficult for the attacking midfielder to play when there are players like Brahim Diaz and Luka Modric ahead him in the pecking order.

Arda Guler has played just 11 minutes in Real Madrid's latest game against Rayo Vallecano. He is still yet to receive more than 20 minutes per match since playing 58 minutes against Arandina in Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid reportedly consider sending the Turkish wonderkid out on loan this summer.
