Suspension Returns Real Madrid Star Early to His Club from National Camp

One of Real Madrid’s international players has returned to the Spanish club earlier than originally scheduled, ending his national team duty under manager Jose Mourinho. Several players from the Spanish club are currently representing their countries during the international break, which continues until next Tuesday. Turkey star Arda Guler participated in yesterday’s clash against Belgium in the third round of the UEFA Nations League, where his side suffered a three-nil defeat. Guler was shown a yellow card in the ninety-second minute following an altercation with Belgian player Nathan Ngoy. Because of this booking, Guler is suspended and cannot play Monday's match against Italy in the fourth round of the UEFA Nations League group stage. Guler featured in three fixtures during this international window against Italy, France, and Belgium, receiving yellow cards in the final two games, leading directly to his suspension for the Italy clash. Consequently, Guler will miss the fixture and head back to Real Madrid early, offering positive news for Mourinho, who fears further player injuries after France star Kylian Mbappe suffered an injury sidelining him for two weeks.
