“The other day we were missing Arda and Raul and the absence of Arda is something different,” he added.
“He is a player who adds pause to our play, who knows when to combine with the defence, the full-backs and the attack.
Turan has been out for the past week with injury but is set to make his return this week.
The Turkish international has become a vital part of Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid side since joining from Galatasaray.
Turan became the first Turkish born player to win the La Liga as Atleti won their first league title since 1996 last season.
