Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Guler could play against Mallorca

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says they'll be careful with Arda Guler's introduction.

The summer signing from Fenerbahce is yet to make his debut due a series of injuries. However, Guler was back in training yesterday and is available for the LaLiga resumption against Real Mallorca.

Ancelotti said today: "The important thing for him is that he is well and has recovered his best level. He is very young and we don't want to be in a hurry with him.

"He's ready. If we can give him minutes tomorrow we will give it to him, if not it will be in another match."

On signing a new centre-half, he added: "We do not contemplate signing another centre-back at this time. We think we are missing two very important ones, but we have two other very important ones. (Aurelien) Tchouaméni and (Dani) Carvajal can also play there."
