Real Madrid continues to monitor the activities of its international stars during the current break, as recent days witnessed developments regarding the early return of one of its players ahead of schedule to the Royal club under the coaching staff's leadership, following the suspension of his participation in upcoming matches for his national team due to disciplinary penalties. A number of players from the white club are currently participating in official and friendly matches with their national teams during the international calendar running until next Tuesday, among them is the Turkish talent Arda Guler, who started in his country's match against Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, which ended in a three-goal defeat for the Turks. The final moments of the match, specifically in the ninety-second minute, witnessed the young player receiving a yellow card following a friction and verbal altercation with opposing player Nathan Ngoy, a booking that resulted in an official suspension depriving him of participating in the upcoming match next Monday against the Italian national team in the same group stage of the continental tournament. With this penalty, Guler has concluded his presence in the current break after playing matches against Italy, France, and Belgium, receiving cautions in recent fixtures that confirmed his absence from the final game, prompting the coaching staff to secure his early return to the Spanish capital, Madrid. This early return is considered relatively reassuring news for the technical staff led by the manager, amid ongoing concerns over key players suffering muscle injuries and physical fatigue during the FIFA break, especially following the recent injury sustained by French forward Kylian Mbappe, which will sideline him from the pitch for approximately two weeks.
