Real MadridReturns to training Wednesday
Huijsen (illness) rejoined the squad in training after recovering from a viral infection and could be an option for Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo, according to the club.
Analysis: Huijsen had been a late scratch from the starting XI for Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona after feeling weak and faint during warmups, making his return to the training pitch an encouraging development. The defender's availability for Thursday will depend on how he responds to the session, with Raul Asencio having filled in during his absence. Getting Huijsen back in contention for the final fixtures of the season would give coach Alvaro Arbeloa additional options in the defensive unit as Real Madrid close out the campaign.
Late scratch Sunday
Huijsen was a late scratch from the starting XI Sunday against Barcelona due to an ailment, with manager Alvaro Arbeloa revealing that "he wanted to play but he felt very weak, quite faint after warming up", Marca reports.
Analysis: Huijsen was dropped from the starting XI following warmups Sunday, as the defender suffered an illness in the build-up. This left the club with Raul Asencio starting, a typical switch for the club. This should have minor implications on the remainder of the season for Real Madrid, with the Spanish international aiming to return for the last few games.
