Mourinho's Arda Guler decision for El Clasico

Real Madrid continues to shape its squad ahead of the El Clasico against Barcelona. According to reports in the Spanish press, coach Jose Mourinho included national team player Arda Guler in all three squad options he is considering.

The young player is expected to start the match in the starting XI. Arda Guler's position on the pitch will be determined by where Federico Valverde plays. In the first plan, Valverde plays at right back while Arda Guler takes his place in midfield. In this scenario, Endrick or Bernardo Silva is expected to wear the number on the right wing.

In the second option, Denzel Dumfries or Trent Alexander-Arnold is considered for right back. In this case, Arda Guler plays on the right wing, and Valverde can play in midfield alongside Aurelien Tchouameni. In the third plan, Dumfries or Alexander-Arnold again stands out at right back. In this scenario, Valverde plays on the right wing, while Arda Guler is considered for a central role.

The first El Clasico of the season will be played at Camp Nou on Sunday, October 25, at 23:00. Mourinho is expected to announce his final squad decision close to the match.
