Real Madrid teenage wonderkid could make first-team debut against SC Braga – report

It has been almost four months since Real Madrid secured the services of Arda Guler from Fenerbahce, beating Barcelona to his signing.

But, the 18-year-old teenage sensation is yet to make his debut for the Merengues as back-to-back injury setbacks have held him back.

Debut against SC Braga?

Guler returned to training during the last international break and has been working towards gaining full fitness.

Despite him training over the past couple of weeks, the teenager has not been involved in the matches against Sevilla, SC Braga, and Barcelona.

Some reports in the recent past had suggested that the Turkish international could be getting his first squad call-up and possible debut against Rayo Vallecano on November 5.

However, El Chiringuito’s Edu Aguirre is now reporting that Guler will be making his Real Madrid debut in the UEFA Champions League game against SC Braga.

Indeed, the journalist states that the goal of the Merengues’ medical staff is to have the summer signing be ready to face Braga in the fourth matchweek of the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Guler generating a lot of excitement

Even though he has not played a single minute of football since joining in the summer, Guler has generated a lot of excitement at Real Madrid.

A number of his teammates and manager Carlo Ancelotti himself have come out to praise the teenager and his qualities.

With his recovery going well, fans will have to wait around a week to finally see him in action in the royal white jersey of Real Madrid.
