The defense is good! Aspen: Real Madrid defenders Huizen and Asensio can play against Barcelona

October 24th, according to "AS" report, Real Madrid center back Huizen will be able to participate in this week's national derby against Barcelona.

Huizen previously missed the Champions League game against Juventus due to precautionary measures, but has now recovered from the severe overload and minor tear of the soleus muscle in his left calf that he suffered during the national team match day.

Huizen's injury occurred at the beginning of the national team match day, and he was expected to miss 12 to 15 days. Although it was initially thought that there would be no problem for him to make it to the national derby, his failure to participate in joint training in the following days once caused concern. However, recent training has confirmed that he will be available to play.

Huizen's comeback is good news for coach Alonso. He can not only relieve the team's defensive pressure, but is also an important part of the backcourt. Alonso has great trust in Huizen. In the nine games he was available to play, Huizen started all games and played the full game in seven of them.

In addition, Raul Asensio, another defender who retired due to cramps against Juventus, was also confirmed to be fine and can play in the national derby without examination. This means that Real Madrid has only Rudiger and Alaba confirmed to be injured at the central defender position.
