A tough blow for Real.
Real Madrid has added a new name to its injury list at a crucial moment in the 2026 season. After undergoing various clinical examinations, the club’s medical staff confirmed that Dean Huijsen has suffered an injury that will prevent him from playing immediately.
According to the official medical statement released by the club on February 20, the central defender is suffering from a muscle injury in his right calf. As is customary in the club’s statements, no exact recovery time was specified, with the statement simply indicating that the player is “awaiting further developments.” However, this type of injury typically requires between two and three weeks of rehabilitation, depending on the degree of muscle tear.
This injury represents a significant setback for Real’s defensive rotation, especially since Huijsen had established himself as a regular substitute and a hope for the future. The coaching staff will now have to adjust their defensive plans for the upcoming matches, while the player begins his recovery process at Ciudad Real Madrid.
