DEAN HUIJSEN RETURNS FIT FOR ELCHE FOLLOWING WORRYING NATIONAL TEAM SCARE
Real Madrid's Dean Huijsen is fit and available for the Elche match after injury fears. Scans revealed no structural damage from the muscle soreness that forced his Spain withdrawal during World Cup qualifying.

After a week filled with worries and withdrawals from international service, Real Madrid has some good news regarding injuries.
According to journalist Jose Luis Sanchez, Dean Huijsen is healthy and should be fully available for the forthcoming La Liga matchup against Elche.
Xabi Alonso has been dealing with a difficult position with several important players out, so this information is a great comfort.
When Huijsen was compelled to leave the Spanish national team camp prior to their pivotal World Cup qualifying match against Turkey, the alarm bells began to sound.
The Spanish Federation issued an official statement outlining the rationale for the decision prior to his withdrawal being finalised.
"Due to muscle soreness that already prohibited him from participating against Georgia, Dean Huijsen has been removed from the squad for the final 2026 World Cup qualifier between Spain and Turkey. His club has been kept updated on this at all times."
According to reports, the discomfort started during Friday's practice, and the coaching staff decided to bench Spain when he arrived for the match.
With his withdrawal, Huijsen joined Thibaut Courtois, Federico Valverde, Kylian Mbappe, and Eduardo Camavinga among Real Madrid players who returned from national duty sooner than anticipated.
But following extensive medical examinations at the RFEF facilities, it was determined that there was no structural damage.
The checks ruled out any significant concern, and current signs suggest that, providing he continues improving nicely, Huijsen will be ready in time for Madrid’s league match with Elche.
This is significant to Alonso. Due to the squad's current overstretching, especially in defence, Huijsen's availability allows him to rejoin Eder Militao in his preferred centre-back duo.
Thankfully, what at first looked like yet another setback for the team has evolved into a rare bit of positive news during a challenging international break.
KYLIAN MBAPPE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH PREMIER LEAGUE STAR OVER MADRID MOVE
Liverpool's Ibrahima Konate reveals Kylian Mbappe calls him "every two hours" amid Real Madrid transfer links. The French defender is in contract talks with Liverpool as his 2026 expiry approaches.

In an attempt to entice him to join Real Madrid, a Premier League player has disclosed that Kylian Mbappe phones him every two hours.
It is safe to conclude that Mbappe has been a success at the Santiago Bernabeu since joining Los Blancos from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024.
Although Real Madrid has not won a major championship since the Frenchman joined the team, they have not exactly been at their best overall. However, the 26-year-old has done well on an individual basis, scoring 62 goals and dishing out seven assists in 75 games for the La Liga powerhouses.
Following Mbappe's arrival in 2024, Carlo Ancelotti left at the end of the season, and Xabi Alonso took over as manager of the team when the Italian accepted the position in Brazil during the summer.
The Spanish capital also saw the arrival of a number of new players, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined from Liverpool.
While centre-back Dean Huijsen moved from Premier League Bournemouth, Alvaro Carreras completed a deal from Benfica.
Additionally, Alonso may soon welcome a new central defender to the team as both Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba, two seasoned centre-backs, are nearing the conclusion of their Real Madrid contracts.
Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace is one name connected to a move to Los Blancos; Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona have also expressed interest in him.
According to reports, Mbappe has been attempting to convince another defender to leave England for Spain in order to embark on a fresh adventure.
Mbappe is "calling me every two hours," Konate said in September, before revealing that he does not speak Spanish.
Since Konate's Liverpool contract is slated to expire at the end of the 2025–2026 season, Real Madrid has obviously been interested in him for a while.
The 26-year-old will have the opportunity to sign a pre-contract with a foreign team in January, which would essentially allow him to leave Liverpool for nothing.
When RMC asked Konate about his future during the current international break, he responded, "I have seen a lot of things (smiles)! I am not sure where the rumour that Liverpool had extended a new offer to me came from. Liverpool and my agency are still negotiating. I am hoping to make a decision quickly so I can make the announcement."
Amid doubts regarding his contract, which is scheduled to expire in 2026, Dayot Upamecano, a defender for Bayern Munich and another France international, is also being strongly linked to Real Madrid. But there have been rumours that he would sign a new contract in Bavaria.
CARLO ANCELOTTI IMPRESSED BY XABI ALONSO’S REAL MADRID INFLUENCE
Carlo Ancelotti defends Xabi Alonso from early criticism at Real Madrid, calling his start "fantastic." The Brazil coach says Alonso has the team performing well and that adapting to intense scrutiny is part of the job at the Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti, the former manager of Real Madrid, shared his thoughts on Xabi Alonso's initial experiences as manager in the Spanish capital. After what appears to be a strong start, the Brazil coach believed that any criticism of Alonso was exaggerated.
With a half-fit squad and a Club World Cup to play in, Alonso arrived under trying circumstances, cutting short his preseason before the current campaign began. Speaking in an interview with Diario AS, Ancelotti agreed with the widespread belief that, when playing, Alonso had seemed like a good coach.
"Yes, Xabi.I also had him at Bayern. An excellent visionary football player. I had faith that he could succeed. And he is doing fantastically.
Ancelotti once said, "One thing I learnt at Madrid is..."
With two losses to Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, the former followed by a tie away to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, Los Blancos have won 13 of their 16 games this season. There was not much more that could be expected of Alonso, according to Ancelotti.
"I am unable to provide him any guidance. Because I want to know how the Brazilians are doing, I watch every Real Madrid game, and I believe the team is performing admirably. They have won nearly all of their games, but football is not necessarily a game you can win. You must occasionally draw.
A draw here is the precursor to a crisis, which is something I discovered while playing for Real Madrid (laughs). Do not make jokes. You must adjust to it. As we already know, results are the best way to assess a coach, and thus far, the outcomes have been outstanding. They are in the top eight of the Champions League and at the top of the league. What more is there to ask of Xabi?
Last season, Alonso resolved a major problem for Real Madrid.
Ancelotti attributed Real Madrid's difficulties in his final season, in part, to injuries, since the team lost all four of its starting backs for significant portions of the year. According to the Italian, losing that strong base was crucial, and Ancelotti believed Alonso would succeed at the Bernabeu.
"Yes, of course. I see a powerful team that is particularly good at the back and on offence. Bellingham is back, and Mbappe is doing great. Xabi can succeed without any issues, in my opinion.
The fact that a large portion of the criticism directed at Alonso's management seems to be coming from the dressing room is perhaps his biggest problem to date, rather than the outcomes. Following Vinicius Junior's tirade, some stories have surfaced indicating that Valdebebas could use some improvement.
