Plays second half vs. Ferencvaros Huijsen (leg) played the second half of Saturday's friendly against Ferencvaros, the club announced.

Impact Huijsen had been sidelined by a minor muscular issue in his right leg that kept him out of the earlier friendly against Fiorentina, and his return to full training last week set the stage for this involvement. He made 37 appearances in his first season at Real Madrid, contributing two goals and two assists, and this outing marks a positive step as he competes for a starting role in central defense alongside newcomer Ibrahima Konate under coach Jose Mourinho. Huijsen is expected to continue building up his match fitness as preseason wraps up.

Trains in full Friday Huijsen (leg) is training in full with the team Friday, according to the club.

Impact Huijsen had been sidelined by a minor muscular issue in his right leg that kept him out of the friendly against Fiorentina, so his return to full training confirms the issue was not serious. He made 37 appearances in his first season at Real Madrid, contributing two goals and two assists, and his return positions him to compete for a starting role in central defense alongside newcomer Ibrahima Konate under new coach Jose Mourinho.

Dealing with minor leg issue Huijsen is not traveling with Real Madrid for Saturday's friendly against Fiorentina due to a minor muscular issue in his right leg, nothing serious, according to Arancha Rodriguez...

Impact Huijsen made 37 appearances for Real Madrid in his first season at the club, contributing two goals and two assists, and quickly established himself as a key defensive presence after his move from Bournemouth last summer. His minor absence now comes as newcomer Ibrahima Konate has arrived to provide fresh competition in central defense, and how the two settle into the back line heading into the 2026/27 La Liga campaign under new coach Jose Mourinho will be one of the more notable storylines to track in the coming weeks.

JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Clears illness Huijsen (illness) returned to full team training and is an option for Sunday's clash against Sevilla, according to the club.

Impact Huijsen had been left out of Thursday's squad against Real Oviedo after his viral infection failed to clear in time, but his swift return to collective sessions is a clean bill of health heading into the final fixture of Real Madrid's season. The young center-back should push to regain his spot in the defensive lineup against Sevilla, with Raul Asencio having covered in his absence during the Oviedo fixture.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Oviedo Huijsen (illness) was not included in the squad for Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo, according to the club.

Impact Huijsen's absence confirms the viral infection has not cleared in time despite returning to training earlier in the week. Raul Asencio is expected to continue filling in at center-back, with no return timeline provided beyond Thursday's fixture.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to training Wednesday Huijsen (illness) rejoined the squad in training after recovering from a viral infection and could be an option for Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo, according to the club.

Impact Huijsen had been a late scratch from the starting XI for Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona after feeling weak and faint during warmups, making his return to the training pitch an encouraging development. The defender's availability for Thursday will depend on how he responds to the session, with Raul Asencio having filled in during his absence. Getting Huijsen back in contention for the final fixtures of the season would give coach Alvaro Arbeloa additional options in the defensive unit as Real Madrid close out the campaign.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Sunday Huijsen was a late scratch from the starting XI Sunday against Barcelona due to an apparent injury.

Impact Huijsen was dropped from the starting XI following warmups Sunday, as the defender appears to have suffered an injury in the build-up. This leaves the club with Raul Asencio starting, a typical switch for the club. This should have minor implications on the remainder of the season for Real Madrid, but may be something to watch for the Spanish National Team if the injury is even close to serious.

Available to return Huijsen has served his card accumulation ban against Celta Vigo and could play again in upcoming fixtures.

Impact Huijsen should have a decent chance to start in at least one of next week's clashes against Manchester City and Elche in Champions League and La Liga action, respectively, challenging Raul Asencio and Antonio Rudiger at center-back. The former Bournemouth man has been limited due to injuries and suspension lately, but he should eventually be reliable for his averages of 4.4 clearances and 1.3 tackles per contest.
