Solid defensive outing in win Huijsen registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Sevilla.

Impact Huijsen completed the full 90 minutes in his first start since Nov. 23 following his return from an injury absence. He failed to score on a couple of shots but showed no signs of being out of shape defensively, recording seven clearances and a few ball recovery stats throughout the match. He's now likely to play a role in a back line that is still missing all of Eder Militao (hamstring), Trent Alexander-Arnold (quadriceps) and Dani Carvajal (knee).

Named to bench Huijsen (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Alaves.

Impact Huijsen was likely to be an option Sunday and has made the call, although outside his usual starting spot and instead on the bench. He will more than likely return to his starting role in the coming matches, taking his return cautiously after five games out.

Should be available against Alaves Huijsen (undisclosed) was training with the team on Saturday and should be back available for Sunday's clash against Alaves, according to Madrid Universal.

Impact Huijsen missed the last five games due to muscle overload but seems to have fully recovered from his issues since he was spotted training on Saturday with the squad and will likely be back available for Sunday's clash against Alaves. This is a very good development for Real Madrid given the numerous absences in the backline due to suspensions or injuries. Huijsen has been an undisputed starter in the central defense when fit and available and should claim back that role now that he is back.

Impact Huijsen is still dealing with an undisclosed injury and was not seen training on Saturday with his teammates.

That said, with the return of Eder Militao (groin) and Antonio Rudiger (quadriceps) from injury, his own return will not be rushed unnecessarily.

Real Madrid dealing with injuries in defense for Champions League match at Olympiakos

Real Madrid will have a depleted defense because of injuries when it faces Olympiakos in the Champions League as it hopes to end a three-game winless streak

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 • Associated Press

Ruled out Wednesday Huijsen (undisclosed) is ruled out for Wednesday's clash against Olympiakos in the Champions League, the club posted.

Impact Huijsen did not train Tuesday morning due to an undisclosed issue that needs to be assessed and is significant enough to rule him out for Wednesday's clash against Olympiakos in the Champions League. This is a blow for Real Madrid since he is an undisputed starter in central defense for the club and his absence will force a change in the backline, with Aurelien Tchouameni as the main option to replace him, altough Ferland Mendy could also be a surprise starter since he was tested as a center-back in recent weeks by coach Xabi Alonso.

Not training Tuesday Huijsen (undisclosed) wasn't spotted training on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's clash against Olympiakos in the Champions League, according to Guillermo Rai from The Athletic.

Impact Huijsen is dealing with an issue and needs to be assessed ahead of Wednesday's clash against Olympiakos as he was not training with his teammates in Tuesday's session. If he had to miss the game, it would be a blow since he is an undisputed starter in central defense for the Merengues and a change will have to be made in the starting XI. Raul Asencio appears to be the probable option to start in his spot if he misses out.

Scores first goal for Real Madrid Huijsen scored a goal off two shots (one on target), created one chance and made one tackle, 10 clearances, one interception and one block during Sunday's 2-2 draw against Elche.

Impact Huijsen was excellent as usual at the heart of the defense, which included a season high in clearances, but this time his biggest contribution came on offense as he appeared at the right place to slot the ball home after the opposing defense failed to clear the ball and draw things level at 1-1 in the 78th minute. This was the first goal for the center-back since he joined Real Madrid and, defensively, he racked up 27 clearances over his last four starts in all competitions.

Impact Huijsen was dealing with a groin injury while on international duty with Spain that revealed to be only a minor one after undergoing scans. The center-back is back available for Sunday's clash against Elche and should return directly to a starting role in the backline of the Merengues.

Real Madrid dealt injury blow as defender Dean Huijsen leaves Spain camp to recover from muscle issue

Dealing with groin discomfort Huijsen is set to undergo a scan after experiencing groin discomfort while on international duty with Spain, according to Mario Cortegana from The Athletic.

Impact Huijsen wasn't included in the Spain match squad for Saturday's clash against Georgia after suffering groin discomfort in the training session on Friday. His absence is likely a precaution but the center-back will undergo a scan to know the extend of the issue. Huijsen should be back available for the clash against Elche on Nov. 23, but if he had to miss the game due to a bigger issue, David Alaba could see increased playing time for the Merengues while he is out.
