Real Madrid is back from the holiday break and has significant matches ahead, including a rematch against Atletico Madrid, who defeated them previously this season.
Los Blancos will play Atleti on Thursday, January 8, in the semifinals of the Spanish Supercup. However, they might have to do so without star striker Kylian Mbappe, who has been a key player for the team this season.
Mbappe is dealing with a left knee injury, and a recent MRI indicated that continuing to play could worsen his condition.
Mbappe is not the only key player potentially missing the match against Atleti. According to Miguel Angel Diaz from COPE, center back Dean Huijsen may also be sidelined.
Huijsen is suffering from a thigh muscle overload and will miss the match against Real Betis in La Liga, with his status for the Atletico game still uncertain.
Despite a poor performance in the last match against Atleti, Huijsen is considered one of the team’s top defenders. His replacements, like Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asencio, are not as effective.
