Real Madrid hosted Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in the 11th week of the Spanish La Liga.
Mbappe scored the second goal for the purple-white team, who defeated their opponent 4-0, while Arda Güler provided the assist.
Arda Güler had the ball 38 times in the first half of the match, took 2 accurate shots, made 1 assist, made 2 key passes and had a pass accuracy of 88%.
While the young star received applause for his performance, he was replaced by Ceballos at halftime.
While fans were wondering the reason for Xabi Alonso’s decision, The Athletic’s Real Madrid representative Guillermo Rai announced that Arda was taken from the game as a precaution.
In his post on his social media account, Rai wrote:
According to the information received from the club, Arda Güler had a slight injury in his wrist. Considering the score, they did not want to push him further.
HE WAS DOWN IN THE FIRST MINUTE
Arda was injured in the first minute of the Valencia match, but continued playing after the intervention of the medical team.
