José Mourinho reveals if Real Madrid star is considered ‘untouchable’ in his first-choice XI | OneFootball

Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho has moved to ensure that not a single member of his XI is considered ‘untouchable’ at this moment in time.

This comes after the Portuguese was drawn on the place of youngster Arda Güler – fresh off another standout performance – in his ‘strongest’ group of players.

Real Madrid were back in action on the La Liga front on Tuesday evening, making the trip to Alicante for a meeting with Elche. Arda featured from the off in the fixture, and shone once more, netting a sumptuous free-kick en route to an eventual 3-2 Blancos triumph.

This continued what has been nothing short of a stellar opening to the new campaign on the part of the young midfielder, who has taken his game to a completely new level over recent weeks.

Speaking to the media in the game’s aftermath, the aforementioned José Mourinho was in turn asked if Arda should be considered all but an automatic inclusion in his XI moving forward.

Real Madrid’s headmaster, however, made use of the opportunity to insist:

“No one is untouchable.”
