Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, has said no player is untouchable in his squad.
Mourinho was responding to reporters after their last-gasp win over Elche on Tuesday night.
Madrid needed a late goal from Carlos Espi to take all three points from the game.
After the match, Mourinho was specifically asked about Arda Güler, who opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick.
But Güler was taken off in the 68th minute of the match, with Mourinho feeling the midfielder was losing intensity.
“He is not untouchable. In fact, no one has such status,” Mourinho said.
“When I make changes, it is usually because the team is losing control of the game.
“Arda played in the ‘number ten’ position, which requires covering a large part of the pitch. Therefore, he gradually began to lose intensity.”
