Real Madrid receive positive news ahead of the Spanish Super Cup with the recovery of Dean Huijsen. The centre-back, one of the club’s biggest bets for the future, has put his injury problems behind him and is now training normally with the rest of his teammates. His return increases the coach’s defensive options at a demanding point in the schedule.

Huijsen, who had been sidelined in recent weeks as a precaution, has responded well to the training workload and is shaping up as a genuine option to be included in the squad. The coaching staff particularly value his ability to anticipate, his aerial presence, and the composure with which he plays the ball out from the back—qualities that fit perfectly with Real Madrid’s style of play.

The Spanish Super Cup represents a top-level test, and having fully fit players available is key to facing matches of maximum intensity. In that context, Huijsen’s presence not only strengthens the defensive rotation but also provides tactical alternatives depending on the opponent and how the games unfold.

The club is maintaining a cautious approach with his return, aware that he is a young player still in a stage of development. Even so, optimism is clear, as the centre-back has shown great maturity whenever he has been given minutes and has proven capable of performing under pressure.

For Huijsen, the Spanish Super Cup represents an opportunity to continue gaining experience in major competitions and to establish himself within the first-team setup. For Real Madrid, his recovery comes at just the right time, strengthening a squad that aims to compete for every title and welcomes back one of its most promising talents.
