At the critical stage of the 2026 season, Real Madrid added a new name to the list of absences. After various clinical examinations, the club’s medical department confirmed that young defender Dean Huizen has a physical illness and will miss the game with immediate effect.
Official diagnosis and recovery time
According to the official medical report released by the agency on February 20, the central defender was diagnosed with a calf muscle injury in his right leg. As is customary in club statements, no specific recovery time is specified, other than that the player is “awaiting evolution.” However, this type of injury usually requires recovery time of two to three weeks, depending on the extent of the muscle tear.
Frustration of white defense
The absence is a major setback for rotation plans, especially considering Whison has become a regular backup and a future prospect in the defensive line. The coaching staff must now adapt their defensive plans to the upcoming assignment, while the players begin the rehabilitation process at Real Madrid City.
