Last weekend, Real Madrid announced that defender Dean Huizen suffered a calf injury and was unable to participate in the game against Osasuna, which the team ultimately lost.
It has been suggested he could miss five days, with the 20-year-old Spain international expected to return to training this week in time for the Champions League match against Benfica.

Huizen did not take part in today’s training and as things stand he is not expected to return in time for Benfica’s visit to the Spanish capital later this week.
In that case, head coach Alvaro Arbeloa could form a central defensive partnership with Raul Asensio, who missed the first leg through suspension, and Antonio Rudiger, who was a surprise substitute on the bench against Osasuna at the weekend.

As for Huizen, Real Madrid hope he can return for the weekend’s La Liga game against Getafe, when another injured player Rodrygo may also return.
Hewitson, who moved from Bournemouth for 58 million euros last June, has made 27 appearances in all competitions so far this season. He scored one goal and assisted two goals.
