Both Guler and Bellingham are highly regarded by the coaching staff and club.
Guler, 20, has shone this season, with three goals and four assists in 11 appearances, while Bellingham has just returned from shoulder surgery, featuring six times.
The Englishman will now have a more prominent role, just as Guler has been doing from the start of this season. But Alonso regularly uses a 4-4-2 system, which makes it possible for both of them to play together.
It is worth remembering they also have to contend with another attacking midfielder in Franco Mastantuono, who has played 538 minutes so far and is seen as another hugely promising young player.
Alonso himself has said in several press conferences that there is a lot of competition for attacking positions. That is why it is not surprising that we see him rotating Guler and Mastantuono.
But, if Madrid face a weaker opponent and Alonso’s team suffer injuries, we may see the three attacking midfielders playing together.
