Arda Guler is not expected to increase his role at Real Madrid in the season run in.
The Turkish international has endured a frustrating start to his career in the Spanish capital after joining from Fenerbahce last summer.
Los Blancos beat off a host of European rivals to secure a deal for the highly rated 19-year-old, but he has struggled for consistency in Madrid.
Injuries and a lack of confidence have played a negative role for Guler but the problems appear to run deeper.
Carlo Ancelotti has indicated his irritation with Guler’s recent touchline antics over not being brought on as a late substitute in tight games and that has further impacted his position.
Despite being tipped as a future star for Turkey, his immediate spot could be under threat, after only playing 92 minutes of action this season.
Turkey head coach Vincenzo Montella admitted his concern over a lack of playing time ahead of picking his squad for Euro 2024 at the end of the campaign.
“He’s playing very little, but I hope he can play more from now on, because he has lots of talent”, as per quotes from Diario Sport.
“We’re following him very carefully. But, I will only call up players in their best physical condition for the Euros.”
Turkey face friendlies against Hungary and Austria this month ahead of starting out in Group F at Euro 2024 alongside Portugal and the Czech Republic.
