Real Madrid 'sack their chief medical officer' amid an injury crisis at the Bernabeu... and are  'disappointed at how he handled Arda Guler's recovery' as the Turkish wonderkid prepares for another spell on the sidelines

Real Madrid have reportedly sacked their chief medical officer Niko Mihic.

According to Marca, the Spanish club have become increasingly concerned with their injury problems.

The main source of frustration relates to how Mihic has handled Arda Guler's recovery, with the young midfielder yet to play a game for the club after suffering several injury setbacks.

Guler's latest injury problem is reportedly set to keep him out until December.

Real are reportedly unhappy with how Mihic, who has been at the club since 2017, has handled Guler's situation.

18-year-old Guler joined Real from Fenerbahce for £17million in the summer but struggled with meniscus damage and then picked up a muscle injury before suffering with another issue. 

There have been numerous other injury issues for Real to contend with so far this campaign.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Eder Militao both suffered anterior cruciate ligament injuries.

in addition, Vinicius Junior, David Alaba and Ferland Mendy have all spent time on the sidelines.

Despite their problems on the fitness front Real are still competing at the top of LaLiga and are two points behind leaders Girona.
