In the post-match press conference on Thursday, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti provided updates on Thibaut Courtois and Arda Güler, who were unavailable due to physical discomfort.
After an exciting first victory against AC Milan (3-2), the Merengues continued their impressive form by comfortably defeating Manchester United (2-0) during this memorable Thursday night. While the new signings Jude Bellingham and Joselu each scored a goal, two players were missing for this match. They were goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and the promising newcomer Arda Güler, who arrived this summer but has not yet had the chance to play in his new colors.
In the post-match press conference, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti provided updates on both players. “Courtois has a slight discomfort, and it wouldn’t make sense to risk him. I think he will be available next time. Likewise, Güler will play soon. We are doing well because the team has a lot of quality, there is no other explanation. Great quality, physically strong, technically skilled, and committed,” he explained, as reported by Real France.
For their next match, Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona in a highly anticipated clasico that will be far from friendly. It is expected that Thibaut Courtois and Arda Güler will be available for this clash. In fact, Güler might have the opportunity to make his debut with the Madrid side.
