Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti insists Arda Guler is suffering a run of bad luck.
Guler remains injured after a training ground setback this week. The summer signing is yet to feature for Real.
Ancelotti, after victory over Las Palmas, said: "It was bad luck. He finished yesterday's training session really well, he even scored the last goal of the game.
"Then he felt something in his thigh and he's picked up a slight injury. The player is sad because he was feeling in good shape.
"We'll have to wait on him a bit longer. It's only a small issue but it meant he wasn't available to get some minutes today, which was the original plan."
