This injury and statement have made it clear that Guler will not only miss the El Classico pre-season friendly against Barcelona, which they lost 3-0; but also miss the final friendly against Serie A giants, Juventus before the new domestic season finally starts later.
The 18-year-old Turk is a promising young talent who has scored a total of nine senior goals within only two seasons for Fenerbahce and with his quick and impressive form is sure to become a first-time feature as soon as he signed for Real Madrid.
Unfortunately, with the issue of this new knee injury diagnosis, Guler might have to wait until middle of August to make his much-anticipated debut at the Santiago Bernabeu for Madrid.
