Dean Huijsen has rejoined the main squad of the Madrid club after a forced break due to a calf muscle injury. The young defender, who recently suffered damage to his left soleus muscle, has now fully recovered and has taken part in several training sessions without restrictions.
Doctors diagnosed Huijsen’s injury on October 8, after which he was prescribed an individual rehabilitation program. Within two weeks, the player regained the necessary fitness and returned to group training. According to club sources, he is no longer experiencing any pain, and his physical condition allows him to be considered fully fit for upcoming matches.
Ahead of one of the season’s most anticipated clashes, the Real Madrid coaching staff has closely monitored the defender’s recovery. Although Huijsen’s match sharpness is still catching up to some of his teammates, experts have no doubts about his readiness to play.
In recent days, the player followed a personalized training program, gradually increasing the intensity. Based on his progress, the coaching staff decided to include him in the squad for the upcoming match. Huijsen is expected to make his debut in El Clásico, marking an important milestone in his career.
With Antonio Rüdiger still recovering from injury, Huijsen has become one of the key options for Real Madrid’s defense. The coaching staff is considering various combinations at the back, but the young player’s inclusion in the starting eleven looks highly likely.
On Sunday, Real Madrid fans will have the chance to see how Huijsen performs in one of the most high-stakes matches in Spanish football. His return boosts the team’s confidence and gives the coach more tactical flexibility in defense.
