Arda Guler (22), star of Real Madrid and the Turkish national team, injured the biceps of his right leg, the club announced.
Spanish and Turkish insiders add that the young ace will be out of action for at least a month and that the club season is over for him.
The Madrid giants still have five league games left, including El Clasico against Barcelona, but they will have to do without Guler.
The offensive midfielder is one of Real’s main players this season. In 50 appearances, he scored six and set up 14 goals. The news of Guler’s serious injury was greeted with great concern in Turkey.
Namely, in less than two months, the national team of that country will play its first game at the WC, on June 14 against Australia.
After that, there are more matches against Paraguay and USA in the group.
Guler is a key player for Turkey, for whom he has scored six and set up seven goals in 28 games and is expected to lead them to the World Cup. Turkish journalists reassure the public by pointing out that Güler will play in the World Cup despite the unfortunate injury.
