Dean Huijsen
20-Year-Old
Real Madrid
La Liga
OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 12/10/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Huijsen is another new defensive addition for Real Madrid, and potentially the most important one. He was one of the best young center-backs in the Premier League last season, excellent on the ball and stout defensively. He offered some upside offensively, scoring three goals and adding a pair of assists, as well as tacking on the usual defensive stats. He won't have nearly as much to do in his own box for Madrid, but he should get plenty of chances for clean sheets, and he has the ability to be a major threat from set pieces.
Needs more time to recover
Huijsen (undisclosed) needs more time to recover and won't be available for Sunday's clash against Girona, coach Xabi Alonso said in the press conference, according to Madrid Xtra. "Huijsen needs more time."
ANALYSIS
Huijsen is still dealing with an undisclosed injury and was not seen training on Saturday with his teammates. The center back is not an option for Sunday's clash against the Catalans and will hope to recover in time for Wednesday's match against Athletic since he is an undisputed starter in central defense for the Merengues. That said, with the return of Eder Militao (groin) and Antonio Rudiger (quadriceps) from injury, his own return will not be rushed unnecessarily.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Two EPL giants after him
Arsenal and Liverpool are vying to sign Huijsen, according to Sky Germany.
ANALYSIS
Huijsen seems set to leave Bournemouth in the summer, and all signs point to the center-back playing in a bigger club in the 2025-26 season. Both Arsenal and Liverpool could use him, but Real Madrid, a team with even bigger needs defensively, could move for him as well. The Spanish international would be keen on joining Real Madrid if the chance arises.
