Real Madrid have confirmed that new signing Dean Huijsen has sustained an injury to the soleus muscle of his left leg, following medical tests conducted earlier this week. The setback, though minor, will keep the young defender sidelined for up to two weeks, ruling him out of the upcoming clash against Getafe.
According to reports, Real Madrid’s medical staff remain optimistic about Huijsen’s recovery timeline, expecting him to return to full fitness in time for the eagerly anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona. The club’s statement described the injury as a “minor strain,” emphasizing that no structural damage was found.
Huijsen, who joined Real Madrid this summer, has made an immediate impact at the Santiago Bernabéu, impressing both fans and coaching staff with his composure, tactical intelligence, and ability to play confidently from the back. His performances have drawn widespread praise, with many labeling him one of the club’s most promising acquisitions of the transfer window.
The injury comes at an unfortunate moment for the 19-year-old, who had established himself as a reliable defensive option in Alonso’s rotation. However, with the international break providing additional recovery time, the club is confident that the young center-back will return stronger.
