🚨 Breaking news: Huijsen injury confirmed | OneFootball

Real Madrid has added a new name to its list of absentees at a crucial stage of the 2026 season. After undergoing various clinical tests, the club's Medical Services have confirmed that the young defender Dean Huijsen is suffering from a physical ailment that will keep him off the field immediately.

Official Diagnosis and Recovery Time

According to the official medical report issued by the institution on February 20, the center-back has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the calf of his right leg. As is customary in the club's statements, no exact recovery time has been specified, only stating that the player is "pending evolution." However, such injuries typically require between two and three weeks of rehabilitation, depending on the degree of the muscle tear.

A Setback for the White Defense

This absence represents a significant setback for the rotation scheme, especially considering that Huijsen had established himself as a regular substitute and a future prospect in the defense. The coaching staff will now have to adjust their defensive planning for upcoming commitments, while the player begins his recovery process at Ciudad Real Madrid.
