The international break has brought new challenges for Real Madrid, with injuries piling up in the defensive line. The latest blow is the muscle injury of Dean Huijsen, adding to the club’s growing list of concerns.
The international break has not been kind to Real Madrid. The club is closely monitoring the health of Kylian Mbappé, who had to leave the field with a right ankle problem during the match against Villarreal, which ended 3-1 in favor of Madrid. Additionally, Franco Mastantuono is dealing with hamstring issues following the clash against Castellón.
Defensive Woes Deepen
This morning, another setback was confirmed as Dean Huijsen left Spain’s training camp due to a muscle injury in his left soleus. This marks yet another challenge for Xabi Alonso, who is already grappling with injuries to key defenders such as Ferland Mendy and Antonio Rüdiger.
The situation could improve slightly after this second international break of the season, with potential returns for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal. The Englishman might be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Getafe on October 19th, while Carvajal is eyeing a comeback for the much-anticipated Clasico against Barcelona on October 26th.
As Real Madrid navigates these turbulent waters, fans and management alike are holding their breath, hoping for a swift recovery of their star players. The club’s defensive strategy will undoubtedly be put to the test in the coming weeks.
