US EditionReal Madrid Injury Update: Latest on Dean Huijsen, Two Absentees for El Clásico
Real Madrid face multiple absences including Rüdiger and Alaba while Barcelona hopes to have Raphinha and Christensen back for the crucial match, with key players missing due to injuries.
- On Oct 23, 2025, Real Madrid will host Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday, with Dean Huijsen set to be included in the squad.
- Earlier this month, Dean Huijsen sustained a calf problem that progressed into a small tear; Real Madrid medical team estimated a 12 to 15 day recovery and rested him for the Juventus match.
- Of seven players on the treatment list, two—including Raphinha—are likely to travel after his Sept. 25 injury in Barcelona's 3-1 win at Real Oviedo.
- Real Madrid face the match without defenders Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba, while Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold remain doubtful and unlikely to start to avoid relapse.
- Madrid coach Xabi Alonso says he hopes to regain key players but will be cautious, resting Dean Huijsen to reduce relapse risk as the centre-back group is not fully ready.
