Impact Guler will miss Wednesday's European encounter despite featuring in Sunday's La Liga clash against Racing Santander, where he provided an assist after recovering from the issue that had previously limited his training involvement. The Turkish midfielder had resumed full team training Friday following two days of individual work, allowing him to return to competitive action over the weekend. However, his workload was managed again Tuesday, and Madrid has opted to leave him out of the squad for the trip to Athens, potentially to avoid aggravating his recent physical problems. The decision comes after Guler registered three goals and five assists across his first 13 appearances of the campaign, underlining his importance to the attacking rotation. His absence should allow Yan Diomande to start on the right wing, while the lack of a confirmed injury setback suggests his exclusion may be precautionary rather than an indication of a longer-term problem.
