Injury blow: Real Madrid handed Huijsen fitness concern ahead of Elche clash

Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen has been ruled out of Spain's World Cup qualifying clash against Georgia.

The 20-year-old returned to the Spain squad after being forced to miss the October international window due to injury.

The Real Madrid defender would have been in contention to start the game Tbilisi, but he is now set to miss another international fixture.

Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente has left the centre-back out of his matchday squad due to a fresh injury concern.

As per The Athletic, Huijsen has been omitted as a 'precaution' after he experienced discomfort in Friday's training session.

There does not appear to be any serious concern over Huijsen's injury at this stage, although he is set to undergo a scan to establish the full extent of the groin problem.

The injury issue makes Huijsen a major doubt for Spain's final World Cup qualifier against Turkey on Tuesday.

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso will hope that the defender will recover in time to be available for next weekend's La Liga clash against Elche.

Prior to the news of Huijsen's absence for Spain, Real Madrid had already received news of two notable withdrawals from the France squad.

Real Madrid's star forward is believed to be dealing with an ankle issue and will undergo further tests when he returns to Real Madrid.

As it stands, Real Madrid are hopeful that Camavinga and Mbappe will both be fit for the away league game against Elche.
